Game Preview
After finishing a successful home stretch, the Suns hit the road and lost immediately. They slipped in New Orleans, where the Pelicans triumphed, 126-124, following a tight battle.
Not having two starters left a huge void in Phoenix’s game, and that’s visible. Devin Booker scored 28 points, though he made only 6 of his 20 shots from the field. Herb Jones blocked his potentially game-winning shot as time expired.
The Heat lost two in a row before bouncing back and humiliating the LA Lakers. Two nights ago, they beat the big rivals 134-93, showing their rage and frustration but in a focused and channeled way.
Miami has the sixth-best defense in the NBA, allowing just 109 points per game. This team is 10-10 so far due to various injuries, odd performances, and lack of luck, but that’s typical for the Heat each season.
Suns vs. Heat Head to Head
Suns hosted the Heat on November 6, when they narrowly won, 115-112. They were 15 points behind before rallying back to triumph.
Suns vs. Heat Prediction
This is a nice situation for the Heat, and they need to utilize it. First of all, they have momentum following a win over the Lakers, and besides that, their rivals have plenty of problems. That’s why we pick the Miami Heat to triumph and exploit this chance to improve their record.
- Suns vs. Heat pick: Heat win
