What does the public think about this game?
Miami has won two straight and five of its last seven while going 6-1 against the spread in those seven games. They should most certainly win today’s game, but this is quite a spread to deal with. Still, Phoenix is just 7-21 against the spread as a road team this season, which is the worst record in the NBA. The Suns are also just 5-9 ATS as a double-digit underdog. Phoenix is in the tank, so Miami should be able to cruise to a win.
