Preview:
The 21-8 Heat host the 18-11 Jazz, currently laying 4.5 points. Miami have been the better team thus far and also have a favourable spot here, making this line seem appealing.
Utah are in their final game of a relatively successful road trip and fatigue could easily be an issue here. I can see them struggling to score against Miami’s stout defence, particularly with Mike Conley slated to miss this one.
The Heat have also been one of the best home sides in the NBA, compiling a 12-1 record thus far. They’ve covered in 11 of those 13 games, yet don’t appear to be too overvalued judging by this line.
They’ve also got the best player on the floor in this matchup in Jimmy Butler, who should enjoy some success against Utah’s poor defensive wings. Bam Adebayo has quietly emerged as one of the best bigs in the NBA and I’d expect him to contain counterpart Rudy Gobert here.
Miami is a versatile and well-coached team that has been outstanding at home this season. Given the injury to Conley and Utah’s road struggles so far, I don’t see them keeping it to 4 or less in this one.
Odds:
Tip: Miami Heat at $1.48
