Oklahoma City at Miami

Premium Pick

Many thought the loss of Kevin Durant would lead to the Oklahoma City Thunder's demise, but not with Russell Westbrook in the house. Westbrook has the MVP look as he has dominated, averaging a triple-double on the season. Miami lived in the glory of the Big-3, but they are no longer on the floor, and the Heat are just a woeful 10-21 on the season, and 5-11 at home. The Heat have struggled even more against teams over .600 on the season, where they are just 1-9 SU, and have not beaten a better than .600 team at home all season. The short line in this game certainly favors Oklahoma City, because if it does get close they have the best closer in the game in Westbrook. Make the play on Oklahoma City in this one.
