Here’s how we are betting Oklahoma City Thunder vs Miami Heat tonight.
Our best bet for Oklahoma City Thunder vs Miami Heat is OKC Thunder -14 (-105) against the spread.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are leading the league with a solid campaign, both at home as well as on the road. They own the best defensive rating in the league, and allow the fewest points to their rivals, forcing the highest number of turnovers. The Miami Heat, on the other hand, are seeded fourth in the league in defensive rating, and they allow 117.6 points to their rivals (117.6).
The spread at 14 is a strong value given the Thunder’s dominance in the league, and the Heat’s lower defensive rating.
Considering the OKC Thunder’s dominance as well as home-court advantage and the Heat allowing more points to their rivals, we are taking the Thunder -14 and expect them to cover the number easily tonight.
