Miami at Phoenix

Miami is top 10 in the NBA in points allowed and field goal shooting defense. The Heat has covered four of five road games and faces a young Phoenix squad that is 3-9 straight up at home, saddled with the worst record in the NBA. They played last night, a 108-86 loss to Portland, their sixth double-digit defeat during a seven-game skid. Phoenix scored just nine first-quarter points for the second straight game and has lost by an average of 15.6 points during its losing streak. Tonight Phoenix will be without Devin Booker (hamstring) for the third straight game and T.J. Warren (ankle) for a fifth consecutive contest. The Suns are #25 defensively in points allowed, #28 in field goal shooting defense, and 2-10 ATS at home against teams with losing road records. Miami has prevailed in 15 of its last 16 meetings with the Suns and has averaged 125.5 points in last season's two victories over Phoenix. Miami is a sizzling 25-7 ATS against the Suns, including 9-1 ATS in this building. Play Miami.
