NBA Odds: Heat-Thunder prediction, odds and pick

Miami Heat (13-15) visit the Oklahoma City Thunder (11-16) on Wednesday night at 8:10 pm ET. Miami has won two of their last three games but is still in 10th place in the Eastern Conference. Oklahoma has lost three straight and is now 13th in Western Conference, but they are 16-11 against the spread and 63% of games have gone over. Last year Miami took both games by double digits.

Miami Heat are last in scoring and 27th in offensive rating. The Heat have six players averaging double-digit points. They are 5-0 when Bam Adebayo scores at least 28 points this season. Thunder are a poor defensive team. Tyler Herro and Max Strus need to score more points to keep up with the Heat. The Thunder will force Miami to play with their strong offense. It's possible that the Thunder cover the spread. NBA Odds: Heat-Thunder prediction, odds and pick.

Oklahoma City has been one of the best teams against the spread this season. They have been held back by their poor defense and their lack of rebounding. Shai Gilegous-Alexander has carried the team all season long. He is third in the NBA in scoring and is coming off a game against Luka Doncic. Miami is almost as bad as Oklahoma City on the glass. The Thunder will need someone to rebound the ball against Bam Adebayo.

Butler is out. Thunder are undervalued. Heat are home underdogs.

Oklahoma City Thunder are favored by 2.5 points over Miami Heat.
