These teams opened up the Las Vegas circuit on opposite ends of the spectrum. The Suns couldn't get much going in their 84-75 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Sat urday.

Suns vs Heat Prediction & Pick
There was a lot that the Suns did wrong in their loss to the Bucks. For starters, Phoenix couldn't get anything going on the outside, shooting 17.4% from the three-point line. The Suns also got outrebounded 48-29 and managed just 25 total points in the second half, whereas the Bucks had 27 in the third quarter alone.
The Heat, on the other hand, excelled where the Suns struggled. Although they were outrebounded, too, Miami still collected 38 boards and even had a 41.9% success rate from three-point range. They even shot 8 3.3% from the charity stripe, which is promising if Phoenix commits anywhere near 26 fouls, as they did over the weekend.
I'm taking the Heat to keep the momentum going with another strong effort. Not only has their shooting looked better than that of the Suns, but their big men (Robinson, Nikola Jovic, Patrick Gardner, etc.) will also likely give Phoenix headaches in the paint.
Needless to say, this is Miami's game to lose.
Final Score Prediction:'Heat: 91 | Suns: 82
Suns vs Heat Best Bet
I won't be shocked if the Heat cover the 3.5-point spread tonight. The Suns really struggled to shoot the ball in their last outing and collecting their misses will be tough against a better-rounding opponent. With Miami also looking lethal from the perimeter in its impressive victory, I can't see Phoenix keeping this game close.
