NBA Betting Trends

Oklahoma City

The Thunder are 7-1 against the spread in their last eight games playing on two days rest and 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games.

Miami

The Heat are just 2-5 against the spread in their last seven home games and 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games against Northwest Division opponents.

Prediction:

Miami had a chance to really pick up some steam with three straight games against the Cavs, Knicks and Bulls. The struggled throughout, winning two of three but covering in just one. Now the Heat must play one of the hottest teams in the league. The Thunder have covered in three straight road games and have scored at least 117 points in six straight. Miami won’t be able to match that with their struggling offense.

NBA Prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder -5.5
