Miami vs Oklahoma Prediction: the Heat Shouldn't Be Underestimated

Prediction for the NBA match between Miami vs Oklahoma, which will take place on January 11th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Heat finished their road trip, beating Golden State and the Lakers but losing to Utah, Phoenix, and the Clippers. The team played their first home game after a long layoff against Houston, winning 120-113. The Heat made over 40% of their three-point shots - 15 of 36, and the most productive player was Tyler Herro - 28 points. Bam Adebayo finished the game with a double-double - 22 points and 12 rebounds. Miami is seventh in the Eastern Conference with a 21-15 record, but the Heat have identical stats to the fifth Indiana.

If the Heat's road trip ended recently, it continues for the Thunder. The team started the tour with two defeats - to Atlanta and Brooklyn but then won over Washington. 132-126 - the Thunder were stronger in assists and rebounds and made more than 60% of two-point attempts. Thirty-two points were scored by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and 31 by Chet Holmgren. Oklahoma is back in second place in the West with a 24-11 record, just one win behind leading Minnesota.

Miami still misses Jimi Butler due to injury, but that doesn't affect their efficiency much - the team finds the resources to win repeatedly. Against Oklahoma, the Heat can undoubtedly count on success, especially considering the positive H2H statistics in recent years. At the very least, the odds of a Miami win here look overpriced.
