Heat at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 121, Mavericks 119

Moneyline

PASS.

While Mavericks (+180) is a tempting line, the preferred route is the spread.

Against the spread

BET MAVERICKS +5.5 (-110).

Dallas has been surging, and it has recently covered well as an underdog. It is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 contests as an underdog and 2-2 ATS in its last 4 games at home. The Mavericks’ offense has found a groove, scoring at least 114 points in 3 straight games, with Davis playing in 2 of those outings.

Miami is the more injured side, and despite averaging 137.5 points per game in its last 2 contests, it has scored 115 or fewer in 4 of its last 8 games, so it has been sporadic offensively. The Heat are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite.

Take MAVERICKS +5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 241.5 (-115).

The Heat are 4-4 O/U in their last 8 games, having allowed 117 points or fewer in 6 of those contests. Potentially missing Powell could hurt, though, as he’s averaging a team-high 25 points per game.

The Mavericks are 2-6 O/U across their last 8 contests, holding all but 1 of those opponents to 121 points or fewer. Back UNDER 241.5 (-115).
