The current betting odds have the Heat listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Heat have looked good in their games this season with their 20-19 record overall which has them right in the middle of the East. They have looked great on their home court too with their 13-6 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Suns have looked good in their games this season with their 24-15 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 10-10 road record this year. They have been rolling in their games lately as they are 8-2 in their last 10 games and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 3 wins in a row now. As good as they have looked lately, the Suns weren't supposed to be this good this season and they have been overachieving during this run. They are due to come back down to Earth on the road where they haven't looked as good, and this isn't a great situation against a Heat team that is going to be desperate to bounce back. The Heat are only 5-5 in their last 10 games and they have no momentum on their side with 3 losses in a row now. They have played against some stronger opponents though, losing to the Timberwolves and the Thunder during that streak, but the Heat have looked a lot better at home this season and will put a lot into this game to bounce back. Look for the Heat to bring their best effort here and get a much needed win against a Suns team that has been up and down on the road this year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Heat to cover the spread in this game.

"We're a competitive group that's lifted by our togetherness. I think our defense has taken gigantic steps. I don't know exactly where I thought we'd be, but we know it could change like that [in the snap of a finger]. So we got to keep getting better and that's what we're focused on." - Jordan Ott on his team this season. 

“We just have to be overall tougher with everything. Not just physical toughness. I felt like we brought physical toughness, but the mental toughness when the momentum starts to swing the other way. It doesn’t have to be a 14-2 run. It can be half. We didn’t respond well, but we will get better at that.” - Erik Spoelstra after his team’s loss against the OKC Thunder in their game on Sunday.
