The Oklahoma City Thunder will try to reestablish a new streak as they face the surging Miami Heat on Friday at Kaseya Center. The Thunder bounced back from the painful loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Cup finals by beating the undermanned Orlando Magic, 105-99, on December 19. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander vented off his frustration on the Magic, scoring 35 points on 15-for-26 shooting. The Thunder improved their road record to 10-3. Despite the overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons 125-124 on December 16, the Miami Heat have put themselves back to playoff contention after they had racked up four consecutive wins before Tuesday’s loss. All of a sudden, Miami is now two games above .500 with a 13-11 record, 6th in the Eastern Conference.

Our Miami Heat vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
Oklahoma City are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games against Miami but 5-1 in their last six road games. Despite holding the No.1 spot in the West, the Thunder opened only a slight favorite over Miami at -1.5 points, indicating that bookmakers are predicting a tight ballgame in South Beach. The Thunder are 3-0 against East teams on the road. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who scored 35 points vs. the Magic, is going to present problems for Miami’s defense which is still mid at 112 points per game. In addition, OKC’s defense, No.1 in the NBA at 103.5 points allowed per game, is another aspect the Heat needs to worry about. Our betting prediction for the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Miami Heat: OKC Thunder to cover -1.5 points.
