Houston Rockets vs. Miami Heat Prediction
This feels a little high for baby Jokic. Sengun is under in five of his last seven games, and now gets the toughest matchup in the NBA. Miami allows the fewest points to Centers in the NBA, and Sengun has shown that Bam can lock him down before.
In their last matchup last year, we saw Sengun score just 12 points from in 31 minutes. Bam is a nightmare matchup for him. Sengun only makes 0.6 threes per game, so this will likely need to be four baskets, or three baskets with him getting an And One.
This game has a low total of 219.5, so I’m expecting a slow paced first quarter and for him to maybe shoot four times. He would need to be ultra efficient to burn us here. This is worth the -140 juice, and is a more bearable under only having to sweat for 12 minutes and not 48. Let's roll!
