Oklahoma City Thunder vs Miami Heat Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

Prediction published on 12/02/2025, 02:28  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 12/02/2025 at 04:58 in NBA Predictions

The high-flying OKC Thunder are at home in their next NBA fixture, welcoming the Miami Heat. The Thunder top the standings in the Western Conference, having won 18 more games than their visitors who are seventh in the East. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Thunder are building another impressive winning streak. Mike Daigneault’s men are the best team in the NBA, currently securing long winning runs. They are on a six-match winning streak.

OKC, who’ve compiled a league-leading 43-9 record, blew out the Pelicans 137-101 last time out. It was the third time in this six-game stretch that they scored over 130 points.

Chet Holmgren scored 12 points against the Pels but is unavailable for the Heat as he continues his gradual return following a lengthy injury spell.

The Heat lost the first game 104-97 at home before Christmas and are seeking to end a three-match skid against OKC. Erik Spoelstra’s men have lacked consistency this season and currently sit one game below .500.

They are on a two-game skid following defeats to the Nets and Celtics. In both losses, they struggled offensively and have been held to under 90 points.

The Heat were defeated 103-85 at home by the Celtics last time out for their 26th loss of the campaign.

Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez are questionable for this trip while Kevin Love is out.
