High-powered Suns prepare to face Heat
Shaquille O'Neal's Miami Heat and Steve Nash's Phoenix Suns hook up on Thursday night in a matchup of two of the NBA's top teams.
The Suns play into revenge Thursday, after handing Miami a 111-93 defeat in the last meeting back on January 6, 2006.
The Heat are favored, opening as 5.5-point chalk, with an opening total of 212.5. They are 25-17 this season and 21-19-2 OU. The Suns are 26-15 and are 16-19 OU.
Mike D'Antoni's troops went to Orlando last game and lost 111-102, a game that went over 208. Oddsmakers had them as 6 point favorites in that one.
The Heat defeated the Grizzlies 94-82 as 7 point favorites. That contest went under the closing total.
If the Suns execute on offence, it will be a long night for the Heat. They rank 1st in the league in scoring and look to sustain their 106.2 points per game average against the Heat's #14-rated defensive unit.
