Betting Guide: Suns Host Heat
The Phoenix Suns enter tonight's meeting with the Miami Heat as two-point underdogs on SI Sportsbook, joining as one of four matchups tonight with a 2.5-point spread or lower on the slate.
The Suns - still without Devin Booker and Cam Johnson - hope to rebound after a massively disappointing road trip where they won just one of six games. In total, they've lost their last seven-of-eight.
Can Phoenix reverse course tonight?
Here's how to bet tonight's action:
Covers.com Says Take the OVER on Bam Adebayo's Points
Rohit Ponnaiya: "The O/U on Adebayo's points total tonight is set at 21.5, a number he has eclipsed in seven of his last eight games, averaging 25.6 points and 17.6 field-goal attempts per game during that span. He also had 30 points on 18 field goal attempts when he faced off against Deandre Ayton and the Suns back in November.
"The Heat have been tough to trust this season, but Adebayo has been far more reliable, so take the Over on his points.
"My best bet: Adebayo Over 21.5 points (-110)"

Action Network Likes Heat With Spread
Kenny Ducey: "Far be it for me to handicap this matchup based off of the one game these two sides played earlier this year, but I do think we can learn quite a bit from it. The Suns had no business being in that game given the way Adebayo scored at will inside, and now without Booker and (most likely) without 21 points off the bench from Washington, I think Miami should take back control here and assert its dominance.
"The x-factor of course is Paul, who missed that Heat game earlier in the season, but the Heat rank second in field goal percentage allowed to opposing point guards. I’m not quite certain he will be able to carry the Suns like he’s done in the last couple of weeks, and I definitely don’t feel good about the Suns winning the battle inside. I’d lay up to three here with Miami."
