Heat at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 118, Jazz 111

Moneyline

The Heat are 10-6 on the road this season and have won their last 4 road games.

The Jazz are 8-5 at home and have won 5 of their last 6 there.

But the Jazz allow nearly 120 points per game.

The Jazz have scored 119 or more in their last 6 wins.

The Heat have not allowed that many points in 10 of their last 11 wins.

BET HEAT (-130).

Against the spread

Since the ML is a decent price to bet the favorite, you can also apply that same logic to the spread. It won't win you much more money but the Heat have covered in 10 of their last 12 wins, and all but 2 of their wins have been by at least 2 points.

BET HEAT -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

While the Heat have had 5 of their last 9 wins surpass Saturday's projected total, the Jazz have had at least 228 total points in 9 of their last 10 games.

BET OVER 229.5 (-110).
