Game Spotlight

The Miami Heat are slowly making their way back to Dade county after a four-game west coast slate, going 2-2 SU. One last stop in a rare meeting in Oklahoma City, where the Heat are 2-0 SU and has won by a combine total of 42 points in last year’s two meetings. The Heat are 4-4 SU on the road this year, with their last win coming on Saturday, upsetting the Utah Jazz as 8.5-point underdogs. At least the Heat are coming into this meeting with some rest, getting a day off after playing some tough western powerhouses in the Jazz, Lakers, Clippers, and Denver, going 2-2 ATS against them.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are coming into this matchup versus the Heat 0-2 SU vs an Eastern Conference opponent, while the under has hit in six of their last seven games.

Final Say

The Heat and Thunder meet up in a non-conference game Monday night. While the Thunder have held their own playing against the West, the Thunder finished last season 3-26 SU versus the East. They are also 0-2 SU against the East this season. Look for this trend to continue as the Heat will have Butler, Herro, and Adebayo in the lineup. This will be too much for the Thunder to handle handle.

Pick: Miami Heat -9
