This is a good spot to back Miami. The Heat have covered six of their past eight home meetings with Phoenix. They don't have a game Wednesday, while this is the first of a back-to-back for the Suns. Jimmy Butler missed a critical free throw in Sunday's OT loss to Indiana, and I'll bank on Butler and Miami to be extremely focused tonight as they try to end a three-game skid. The Heat definitely should shoot better than their 9-of-37 effort from deep versus the Pacers. Play the home dog.
The Suns have won and covered their last two games and start a road trip in Miami on Tuesday. The Heat have a lot of injury questions, but Jimmy Butler is expected to start. The Heat have lost their last three against Memphis and Indiana twice after winning and covering their previous five. The Suns are 6-0 ATS in their last six as road favorites and 8-0 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with winning home records.
Playing on the road has not phased the Suns, who are 13-5 ATS away from Phoenix. The Heat are coming off of back-to-back losses at home and are just 8-13-1 there ATS this season. Add in the Suns winning eight of their last 10 games overall, and I like them to cover this small line.
