Both teams are ravaged by injury/COVID; Miami will get Duncan Robinson back but he'll be limited and Jimmy Butler is out. I don't feel that great about the Blazers minus Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum but they are home and pretty rested while Miami is playing a third road game in four nights. The Heat are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite.
Miami won't have Jimmy Butler (ankle) for its Wednesday matchup against Portland but has done just fine scoring without him. The Heat have averaged 107 points per game in 15 games without Butler. That's only .9 points below their season average, and they'll face an abysmal defense at the Moda Center. The Trail Blazers rank dead last in defensive rating (114.8) and have allowed 126.6 points per game over their previous five contests. The over has hit in six of Miami's last seven games and five of Portland's last seven home games.
