The Heat beat the Phoenix Suns 104-96 this past Friday. Miami's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but small forward Jimmy Butler led the charge as he had 20 points and six assists along with five boards.

Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Brooklyn beat the New Orleans Pelicans 108-102 this past Friday. It was another big night for Brooklyn's power forward Kevin Durant, who posted a double-double on 33 points and ten rebounds.

Miami is expected to lose this next one by 4. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, as they've failed to beat the spread in 13 of their 19 home games.

A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: The Heat are stumbling into the game with the fewest points per game in the league, having accrued only 108.9 on average.
