Seattle at Miami

Premium Pick

The Miami Heat are the defending world champions but they aren't playing like it. They've dropped two of their first three games and they've given up 107+ points twice already. Shaq is gettting old and is already banged up. He didn't play last game and is listed as day-to-day. They now face a Seattle team that can hit the deep ball and that's not a good matchup for them. Seattle is scoring 112 per game and hitting 41.4% from beyond the arc, tossing it up 23 times per game from deep. The Heat like to pack it in down low. Against teams that attempt 18+ 3-pointers per game, Miami is just 5-18 ATS the past two seasons. Miami is now just 4-14 ATS in November games the past three years. Take the points and the Sonics as right now Miami needs to prove they should be a this big a favorite.
