Through 3 Quarters

The point spread is against the Phoenix Suns, but thus far the points are on their side. Three quarters in and their offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating the Miami Heat 91-74 three quarters in.

Phoenix has enjoyed the tag-team combination of shooting guard Devin Booker and small forward Mikal Bridges. The former has 17 points and eight assists along with five boards, while the latter has 19 points in addition to nine rebounds. The top scorers for Miami have been shooting guard Duncan Robinson (17 points), point guard Tyler Herro (17 points), and center Bam Adebayo (15 points).

The Heat have been used to carrying a lead into the fourth quarter lately, so we'll see how they respond to the deficit.

What to Know

The Miami Heat will take on the Phoenix Suns at 7:30 p.m. ET Wednesday at home. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The Heat didn't have too much trouble with the Houston Rockets at home on Monday as they won 123-106. Miami's point guard Tyler Herro was one of the most active players for the squad, shooting 6-for-9 from beyond the arc and finishing with 31 points.

Meanwhile, things were close when Phoenix and the Orlando Magic clashed on Tuesday, but the Suns ultimately edged out the opposition 102-99. Point guard Cameron Payne was the offensive standout of the matchup for Phoenix, dropping a double-double on 18 points and 12 dimes in addition to six rebounds.

Miami is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. They are currently five-for-five against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The wins brought Miami up to 44-22 and Phoenix to 52-13. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Heat have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 44.30%, which places them fourth in the league. But the Suns rank second in the league when it comes to field goal percentage, with 48.10% on the season. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
