Yesterday’s Results for Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks

NBA Game of the Day - Wednesday

Analysis: Miami rolls into Dallas on Wednesday night playing like one of the Eastern Conference’s early-season bullies, while the Mavericks are still trying to find consistency and string together wins. The Heat have been doing it with a blend of pressure defense and a free-flowing, efficient offense, with multiple perimeter scorers capable of taking over on any given night. Miami already owns a narrow win over Dallas from their first meeting, and this time they come in looking deeper and more settled in their roles, with their spacing and ball movement set to test a Mavericks defense that has been leaky for long stretches. Dallas can be dangerous at home when their shooters get rolling, but they’ve struggled to sustain strong play for all four quarters and have had issues on the glass and in late-game execution. With the Heat laying what should be a short number on the road and carrying the more reliable defense, deeper rotation, and better overall form, the matchup points to Miami dictating the tempo and pulling away late, so the call is for the Heat to win and cover the spread in Dallas.
