The Heat are playing their best ball of the season winning their fourth in five outings. In the win versus the shorthanded Pelicans, Miami took the early lead and won every quarter with seven Heat players scoring in double-figures and no one logging more than 35 minutes.
Bam Adebayo led the way scoring 26 points with Jimmy Butler offering 18 points.
Miami dominated the paint (64 to 48) and glass 43-37 while also winning assists (37-27) and steals categories (11-5). They forced 18 turnovers scoring 24 points off those miscues.

As can be seen, defensively, the Heat allow opponents to score 108.6 points per game ranking second overall. Also, Miami opponents shoot 47.5% from the field and 36.9% from the perimeter ranking 20th and 27th respectively.
Duncan Robinson (finger), Nikola Jovic (back), and Omer Yurtseven (ankle surgery) are out indefinitely.
Dallas Mavericks
Jason Kidd isn’t happy with his squad’s defensive effort and with the team losing their sixth of the last eight the head coach referred to the Hawks win as ‘shoot around’.
On the positive side of the equation, the Mavericks got two core players back in Josh Green who missed the last 20-games due to an elbow sprain, and Dorian Finney-Smith who missed 14 games with an adductor strain.
Doncic led the Mavs with 30 points while Christian Wood was just shy of a double-double with 22 points and nine rebounds.

On defense, the Mavs have slipped lately regressing in each of the three categories. They allow 112.7 points per game which rank 12th. In terms of efficiency, opponents are shooting 48.1% from the field and 35.7% from the perimeter ranking 25th and 14th respectively.
The Mavericks score 112.9 points per game ranking 18th overall. As for their efficiency, they shoot 47.2% from the field and 35.9%.from the perimeter ranking 17th and 15th respectively.
Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) is probable. Christian Wood (thumb fracture), McKinley Wright IV (foot), and Maxi Kleber (torn hamstring) are out indefinitely.

Free Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA Prediction:
The opening odds had the teams even which means the oddsmakers actually favor the opponent and sure enough the updates switched in that direction.
With Wood fracturing his thumb it might push the front office to make a move to bolster the offense so keep an eye on Dallas before the deadline. In the interim, I like the Heat to win and cover.
