Dallas at Miami

Miami is 23-4 straight-up and 18-8-1 ATS at home this season and they come off two bad losses to the Cavaliers and Timberwolves. The Heat will be focused for this one and it is 7-1-1 ATS over the last nine meetings with Dallas, including an overtime road victory in December. Miami has beaten the Mavericks outright five times in a row and the Heat is 17-6 ATS over its last 23 games after a loss. Most importantly, Jimmy Butler is back in the lineup after missing some games with personal issues while Luka Doncic (thumb) is questionable for the Mavericks. The Heat still has the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference even after a rough stretch when it played seven out of eight road games and it leads the Southeast Division by 10 games and is just a small favorite in this one. Take the Heat.
