Both bets won, next Heat game to be tipped: TBC
Cross conference game, between the NBA's best Oklahoma City (43-9-83%, 24-3 home, 8-2 L10, W6) and distinctly slightly below average Miami (25-26-49%, 12-15 road, 4-6 L10, L2).
Clearly only going to be one winner here, and it ain't the Floridians.
Oklahoma City Thunder (-13.5) at odds of 1.85
The spread in this game could easily hit 20, and indeed we expect it to be closer to 20 than 13. Miami have failed to cover in 10 of their last 14, 4 of their last 5 losses have been by 16 points or greater, and they are 1-5 against the spread in their last 6. Heat regularly lose by double digits. Thunder are W6 - all by 12 or more points, 5-1 ATS, covering almost 10 ppg.
OKC are going to destroy Miami here.
Andrew Wiggins (MIA) Under 16.5 Points at odds of 1.87
In a game that could rack up a 20+ point margin, its tough to see any Miami player scoring a bunch of points. Wiggins struggled on his debut after his trade, and this game is just about as tough as it gets against the best defense in the game. You can bet on this down to 15.5, probably worth backing at 2.00 for under 14.5.
But definitely an Under 16.5 Points bet all day long.
