Smart Game Analysis
Phoenix Suns has a 56% chance of winning the game
The surging Suns look to extend their win streak against a slumping Heat squad that is struggling defensively and dealing with a critical injury to their leading scorer.
Key Analysis
- • Miami's leading scorer Norman Powell (23.8 PPG) is questionable with a back injury, which would remove their primary offensive weapon.
- • Phoenix enters the game with significant momentum, having won three straight games and nine of their last eleven.
- • The Heat's defense has collapsed recently, surrendering an average of 123 points over their current three-game losing streak.
- • Phoenix boasts a statistically superior defense this season, allowing nearly 6 fewer points per game (111.8) than Miami (117.7).
- • Devin Booker has been the catalyst for the Suns, averaging over 24 points and nearly 7 assists across his last six games.
- • Miami must significantly improve their perimeter defense after allowing opponents to shoot high percentages in recent losses.
