Miami Heat at Dallas Mavericks Preview & Picks

Miami are tipped to cover as an underdog on the road.

The Heat have been (pardon the pun) red hot over the past couple of weeks, while Dallas have been in miserable form.

  • Miami Heat are 7-1 in their last 8 games
  • Miami Heat are 11-3-0 ATS in their last 14 games
  • Dallas Mavericks are 1-5 in their last 6 games
  • The Under has cashed in 11 of Miami's last 15 games

Head To Head

  • Miami Heat lead the all-time series 44-31
  • Miami Heat won 129-122 when the two teams last met in April 2023

Miami Heat Form

Miami come into this matchup in excellent form, having won seven of their last eight games.

The Heat started this sequence by bouncing back from a 110-106 defeat to Boston with a 123-97 win in Milwaukee.

They backed that up with a 109-104 win in Philadelphia, and then won 106-95 in New Orleans, 121-110 in Sacramento and 106-96 in Portland.

Miami’s streak ended in their final game of that road trip, as they were beaten 103-97 by Denver, but they bounced back quickly.

The Heat returned home to beat Utah 126-120, and followed that up with a 118-110 victory over Detroit.

Dallas Mavericks Form

Dallas enter this game in miserable form, having suffered defeat in five of their last six matchups.

The Mavericks went on a seven-game win streak in February, but struggled to recover after that run was ended by a 133-111 defeat in Indiana.

They then lost 121-119 in Cleveland, before briefly getting back to winning ways with a 136-125 victory in Toronto.

Dallas failed to build on that though, as they ended that four-game road trip with one more defeat, losing 138-110 to Boston.

The Mavericks then returned home and suffered back-to-back defeats, losing 120-116 to Philadelphia and 137-120 to Indiana.

Verdict

Miami have been stacking up wins and covers while Dallas have been struggling, so the Heat make for appealing underdogs in this one.
