Both the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks have to win tonight to stay in the hunt for the postseason.
Before betting on Mavericks vs. Heat
The Mavs aren’t only outside the playoff picture, but for the moment, they are not in the play-in combinations. It seems that gambling with Kyrie Irving didn’t give the expected results, yet that’s all part of the game.
The Mavs are 1-5 over the latest six contests, and they lost the spot, which leads to the playoffs in the worst possible moment. This will be their fourth consecutive road game, which only worsens things. Six of the past seven events have ended with Under.
Miami isn’t in any better shape than the rivals, with Erik Spoelstra’s crew losing the past three meetings and falling out of the playoff area. Their chances of reaching Brooklyn, who is sixth, are slim, and the Heat needs a small miracle to do so.
The Heat’s home games are mostly ending Over the total line, with five of the past six events concluding that way. What boosts the morale of the hosts is their very good record against the Mavs in Florida, 8-3 in the recent 11 games.

The hosts have to win, and we are backing that to happen. Our biggest reason is Miami’s solid performances at home, while on the other hand, we have a dysfunctional Dallas, who is, on top of that, tired.
