NBA Betting Preview, Miami Heat (8-24) at Dallas Mavericks (21-11)

NBA Betting Preview, Miami Heat (8-24) at Dallas Mavericks (21-11)

Friday, 9:35 pm Eastern – ESPN
SBG Global Opening Line: Mavericks - 14 , Total 196.5

The Miami Heat head into Dallas having lost five straight looking like a team that has lost hope for the season. The Heat still have Dwyane Wade in the starting lineup but he is getting very little help. Shaquille O’Neal is out of the lineup with a hip injury and few other players are picking up the slack. SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Mavericks at Home.
“I wouldn’t know,” Dallas head coach Avery Johnson said when asked about Miami’s troubles. “I think you’ll have to ask them. I know they’ve had some injuries, so I would say that may be a part of it, the injuries. But when they’re healthy with Wade and Shaq, we know they can be an awfully good basketball team. I know some of their supporting cast has changed a little bit.” The Mavericks have had no such problems. They are still a solid team and are coming off a revenge game against Golden State where they pummeled the Warriors into submission. “We seem to not get enough credit for a lot of stuff that we’ve done,” Johnson said.
“The tendency is to point to the negative. Dirk, obviously, we had some issues last year, but I don’t know if enough was being made of what he did last night. If he hadn’t played well, I guarantee you we would have heard more about that.”
