NBA Monday

Miami Heat at Utah Jazz

These two teams last met on December 23rd. Remember that game in Miami? It held some offensive promise, but the game unfolded in snails pace with decisive 3rd quarter by home team Miami ending in 70-80. That was the 5th and final road game for Jazz where D. Williams blamed the loss to their defensive laps. Whatever it was Miami took down Utah for the 4th time in a row.
Miami is the nemesis to Utah winning 11 out of 12 meets. Today Miami Heat are the road team and they have lost 5 out of last 7 games. The last game against Clippers at L.A. 94-84 loss Heat shot below 40% and could not recover from early deficit. Wade sat out the last 8 min. 21 sec. in a look-ahead move for second of back to back.

The Jazz men last played 1/09 @DAL where they caught the Mavs on second of back to back after the incredible rally at San Antonio. Jazz winning in Dallas 111-93 up to that point they were struggling with 4 losses out of 5 and forced to play Williams who was nursing a injured wrist. Jazz are tough at home 13-6 SU & 12-7 ATS and coming off high scoring games are 10-3.

I'm looking for higher production from Miami today and maybe Jazz score doesn't reach 111, but Miami has allowed +100 points in 4 out of last 6 games. Catching the declining Total and taking this Over.

Sweet and Easy.
