Miami at Phoenix

It has been a few years since LeBron James ruled the court for Miami. The Heat have fallen sharply since his departure, entering this contest at 10-25. They will have a rare road opportunity tonight in Phoenix against a Suns team that has been equally inept, also at 10-25. The Heat have failed to put one in the win column in their last seven roadies at 0-7. The Suns have the bigger issues here as nine of their last 10 opponents have shot 47% or better against them, and included in that mix are 5 of the 10 teams eclipsing the 50% mark. That bodes well for a Miami team that has covered 67% of the time this season when they shoot 47% or better, which has been just about a given for Phoenix. Play on Miami.
