Heat vs. Mavericks NBA Picks
The Mavericks are coming into tonight’s game after a pair of matchups against the Los Angeles Clippers where Luka Doncic tallied 96 points, 24 rebounds and 14 assists over the two games. Doncic is at the point of the season where he is finding both consistency and leadership, which has helped this Dallas team look like a real threat in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat are sitting atop the Eastern Conference after dealing with many injuries throughout the season. Since returning from injury, Bam Adebayo is averaging 18.6 points and 10 rebounds, providing the Heat with a go-to offensive option alongside Jimmy Butler. For tonight’s matchup, Butler is currently listed as questionable, but it seems as though he may be getting an early start to All-Star break and taking the evening off.

Over their last ten games, both teams are scoring over their season average and have found their stride offensively. The game total sitting at 208.5 offers strong value to the over for many reasons. First, the Heat are 13-2 to the over against Western Conference opponents following an against the spread loss in the game prior. If the 13-2 does not provide enough confidence, the Heat holds the best percentage to the over this season sitting at 61.4%, while them coming off of an against the spread loss sees a bolstered 71.4% to the over (Check out @YBBSportsData for great NBA trends). In the first matchup these teams played, the Heat won 125-110 and the game saw great tempo and pace throughout all four quarters. Although the past game between two teams does not tell the whole story, it does offer insight into how they will play each other. While this game probably does not get to the 235 total it did the first time, it does provide a large window for regression. This game should be a competitive one with little to no value on the point spread, so turn to the game over. After all, sometimes it is easier to root for points rather than sweat out a close game in the fourth quarter.
