The Oklahoma City Thunder seek their seventh consecutive win when facing the struggling Miami Heat on Wednesday.

Boasting a 24-3 record at home, most of the early money is with the Thunder to cover the -13.5 spread with NBA betting markets.

 

Heat vs Thunder Prediction

We expect a convincing win for the Thunder, who are the much better team, especially on the defensive end.

Without Jimmy Butler, the Heat have struggled, and we don’t see that changing. We have the Thunder winning 116-98 on Wednesday night.

Heat vs Thunder Best 3 NBA Player Props Today

1. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 Points

The NBA player prop line for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is what we expected for the Thunder scoring superstar, who has been one of the most consistent scorers in the NBA. He comes off a 31-point performance against the Pelicans, and although he needs to slightly improve to cover the -31.5 line, he’s a player bettors should rarely doubt.

 

2. Tyler Herro Under 21.5 Points

Our NBA picks include Tyler Herro under 21.5 points. The guard averages 23.7 points per game, but he didn’t play against the Celtics and that followed a 15-point effort against the Nets. His performances on the road haven’t been great, and although he gets more shots without Butler playing, we don’t think he’s an elite scorer. Herro is a game-time decision (illness).

Bet on Tyler Herro Under 21.5 pts!

 

3. Isaiah Hartenstein Over 12.5 Rebounds

Isaiah Hartenstein is a beast on the boards and we have him going over 12.5 rebounds against the Heat.

Hartenstein averages 12 rebounds per game and is an absolute cleaner, and we expect the Heat to shoot a lot of blanks. Therefore, he’ll be there to grab rebounds and he comes off 13 and 14-rebound performances.

Heat vs Thunder Moneyline Pick

The Thunder are at skinny odds to beat the Heat, and it’s worth including in NBA parlay picks. We can’t see the Thunder losing the game outright, especially after beating much better teams over the last two weeks. The NBA moneyline odds are short, but it’s relatively risk-free.

Heat vs Thunder Spread Pick

Our best Heat vs Thunder spread pick is Thunder -13.5. It could be a scary line for bettors, but the Thunder have been putting teams to the sword. They defeated the Bucks 125-96 as part of their six-game win streak before beating Phoenix 140-109. Therefore, covering the -13.5 spread against the Heat shouldn’t be too difficult. We can’t see where the Heat’s offense comes from, especially against the best defensive team in the NBA.

Heat vs Thunder Over/Under Pick

The line is 219½ points, which is low for a Thunder game. However, with the Heat struggling to score more than 90 points recently, we’re locking in the under. The Heat scored 85 points against the Celtics and 86 against the Nets, so scoring over 90 against the Thunder will prove difficult. The Thunder will score more than 100 points, but the under is the best bet.
