Miami Heat vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Thobelani Moyo | in NBA Predictions
The Miami Heat (13-11) and Oklahoma City Thunder (21-5) meet Saturday in NBA action at the Kaseya Center. The Heat are sixth in the Eastern Conference table, while the Thunder occupy the top spot in the Western Conference. Below is our prediction for the match.
The Miami Heat, who have been on and off this season, set foot at the Kaseya Center after enjoying a three-break from NBA action. Their last match saw them suffer a narrow 125-124 overtime defeat against the Detroit Pistons.
The Heat entered that match riding a four-match winning streak, but there are still some positives to hold onto as they head into this clash, having won six of their last nine outings.
Since their 106-103 home defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks, they have gone on to win five of their matches and will be hoping to make it five as they eye a comfortable win against their opponents in this impending encounter.
Oklahoma City Thunder heads into this match after seeing off the threat of Orlando Magic in a 105-99 away victory on Friday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 35 points for his team in that victory.
This marked their sixth win in the last seven outings and made it six wins out of eight matches on the road since suffering two consecutive defeats against the Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs.
