Miami Heat at Oklahoma City Thunder
January 17th, 2020

Miami Heat at Oklahoma City Thunder Free Pick & Prediction 01/17/20

Mike McDermott Mike McDermott

The Oklahoma City Thunder (23-18) clash against the Miami Heat (28-12) at Chesapeake Energy Arena. The game will air on Fox SportsNet Oklahoma at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, January 17, 2020.

Miami Heat at Oklahoma City Thunder ATS Prediction

The Heat come in on a high note after covering the 5-point spread against the San Antonio Spurs in their last matchup, 106-100. The total points for the game (206) finished under the O/U total of 219.5. Miami’s 18.6 offensive rebounding percentage was their biggest advantage over San Antonio, who had a mark of 12.8. The Heat’s mark was below their season average of 21.6, while the Spurs’ was below their season average of 21.0. Bam Adebayo had a good outing for Miami, finishing with 14 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists.

In the Thunder’s previous game, they lost to the Toronto Raptors, 130-121, despite being 1-point favorites. The game’s combined points (251) were well over the O/U total of 213. Toronto’s 15.6 offensive rebounding percentage was their biggest advantage over Oklahoma City, who had a mark of 11.4. The Raptors’ mark was below their season average of 22.5, while the Thunder’s was below their season average of 20.1. With 16 points, 11 assists and five rebounds, Chris Paul had a solid performance for Oklahoma City.

After splitting two games last season, this will be the first matchup of the year between these two teams. In the last contest, the Heat won 116-107. Miami had a much better turnover percentage (7.1 vs. 16.1). Oklahoma City, meanwhile, did an excellent job of converting from the charity stripe (21-27; 77.8 percent).

Miami comes into the contest with records of 28-12 straight up (SU) and 22-16-2 against the spread (ATS). Oddsmakers have a tendency to set the total low when the Heat are involved, as 60.0 percent of their games have gone over the total.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma City is 23-18 SU and 26-14-1 ATS. Contrary to Miami, games involving the Thunder have a tendency to go under the total (56.1 percent).

Half-court execution will be at a premium when a pair of the NBA’s slowest-paced teams clash. Oklahoma City ranks 24th in possessions per game (100.9) and Miami is 22nd (101.1). Also, the Heat are among the NBA’s elite at getting to the line, ranking first in free throw attempt (FTA) rate (0.234). The Thunder, however, rank third at keeping opponents off the charity stripe with an opponents’ FTA rate of 0.163.
