Why Bet on the Dallas Mavericks?

The Mavs have been on a roll until their recent loss to the Kings before breaking their 3-game winning streak. Nevertheless, they still hold an impressive offense rating of 115 with the help of efficient performance from the field, making 47% of their field-goal attempts. Thanks to Luka Dončić, the team remains competitive and is playoffs-bound if they continue to fire on all cylinders. Despite breaking the win streak, Dončić managed to record 30 points, 6 assists, and 6 rebounds in his 36 minutes of playtime.

Meanwhile, one of the most important components of the team as of late is Tim Hardaway Jr., who has done exceptionally well to complement Dončić’s playstyle. Jalen Brunson continues to prove his worth to the team as well, averaging 12 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. His last performance for the Mavs saw him put down 17 points, 3 assists, and 2 rebounds, and we anticipate the guard to play a crucial role in this Mavs vs. Heat game.

Why Bet on the Miami Heat?

Considering the Miami Heat’s amazing run in the NBA Bubble where they made it to the NBA Finals, they’ve had somewhat of an inconsistent 2020-21 season, starting slow in the first half but are now looking better as they tighten their grip on a playoffs spot. Now at the No. 6 seed, the Heat have a chance at improving their record with the Atlanta Hawks just a win ahead of them.

The Heat beat the Charlotte Hornets 121-111 in their last outing. We’ve seen quality ball movement from the team, featuring Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler. The two combined for 38 points and 18 assists throughout the game. What’s even more impressive is the fact that Butler only played 28 minutes while Adebayo had 34. We can expect the two to lead the charge for the Heat, alongside Goran Dragić, Kendrick Nunn, and Duncan Robinson.

Mavs vs. Heat Expert Betting Predictions

Both teams have had trouble with injuries, but are now out of the rut and sporting a healthier lineup. It’s going to be tough to predict a surefire winner between the two with the Heat having the slight edge on paper as well as home-court advantage. But, covering the spread will be much easier for the Mavs if you choose to go that route. Ultimately, we anticipate a close Mavs vs. Heat game that can go both ways.
