What to Know
The Miami Heat will take on the Dallas Mavericks at 6:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at Kaseya Center after having had a few days off. The Heat are the slight favorite, but fans should be in for an exciting contest likely to go down to the wire.
The Heat took a loss when they played away from home on Sunday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Monday. They enjoyed a cozy 106-89 win over the 76ers. The victory was all the more spectacular given Miami was down by 19 with 9:23 left in the second quarter.
Jimmy Butler was a one-man wrecking crew for the Heat as he dropped a double-double on 30 points and ten rebounds. Butler had some trouble finding his footing against the Nuggets on November 8th, so this was a step in the right direction.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks entered their tilt with the Nuggets on Friday with three consecutive wins but they’ll enter their next game with four. They skirted past Denver 123-120.
Miami’s win bumped their record up to 6-7. As for Dallas, their victory bumped their record up to 9-7.
Keep an eye on the arc in Sunday’s match: The Heat have been dynamite from deep this season, having nailed 38.2% of their threes per game. It’s a different story for the Mavericks, though, as they’ve only made 34.8% of their threes this season. Given the Heat’s sizable advantage in that area, the Mavericks will need to find a way to close that gap.
The Heat suffered a grim 111-92 defeat to the Mavericks in their previous meeting back in April. That matchup was pretty much over by halftime, at which point the Heat were down 69-47.
