The Miami Heat travels to the Phoenix Suns next as both teams seek to extend their strong starts to the season. They are in the top three in their respective conferences and here’s our prediction for the match.

The Suns’ five wins have improved their record to 6-1 and kept them second in the West. Mike Budenholzer’s men are unbeaten at home where four of their wins occured. They defeated the Sixers 118-116 last time out.

The Suns are averaging 114.4 points and allowing 110.7 points. Kevin Durant, who is averaging 27.1 points, dropped a season-high 35 points against the Sixers. The Suns do not have any injury concerns for this game.

The Heat haven’t been as dominant as the Suns but are also having a positive start. Eric Spoelstra’s men are 3-3 and sit third in the East. They’ve struggled rather surprisingly at home but have been better on the road.

The Heat are unbeaten away from home where two of their wins have come. They are coming off a 111-110 defeat at home by the Kings. Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro both scored 27 points in the defeat.

Jaime Jaquez and Kevin Love missed the game and are questionable for this trip. Miami are holding teams to an impressive 107.5 points but are themselves managing just 108.7 points on average.
