The Suns are struggling without Devin Booker (groin). Over the last 10 games that he has missed, they have a 2-8 record. In addition to Booker, key reserve guard Cameron Payne (foot) has been ruled out for this game. Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Kyle Lowry are all off the injury report for the Heat, giving them a favorable chance to come away with a road victory.

This is a cheap Heat number considering 1) the way the Suns have played without Devin Booker 2) Cam Johnson is still out and 3) Cameron Payne has a foot injury. The Suns have lost four straight, seven of eight and 12 of 16 to put them in the play-in bracket for now. When Booker gets back, the Suns will be in a bad spot, way outside of the top six seeds. Jimmy Butler is expected to play tonight. I’m on the Heat to win and cover.
