Miami Heat (6-7) vs Phoenix Suns (8-4)

The Heat have been disappointing, to say the least in 2022-23 so far as Miami is 6-7 overall and just barely in a play-in spot. There is still a ton of season to go and this is a great spot for the Heat to grab a statement win over a good Suns team. In the past five games, the Miami Heat are doing their part in terms of limiting turnovers on offense, forcing them on defense, grabbing rebounds on both sides of the court, and getting to the foul line. Teams are shooting 57.1% in terms of effective FG vs. Miami in the Heat's last five games, so Miami has been getting rather unlucky in my opinion. Despite teams shooting the ball well vs. Miami, the Heat are still top-10 in the league in defensive efficiency during that five-game stretch, so imagine how good this defense will be when those shooting numbers regress toward the mean. I think Miami has a strong performance tonight and I like the Heat on the ML.
