Bookies are waiting for something around 208 points by both tonight. My formula says that the 50/50 line should be around 202-204 points today. I just simply can't see this one going in that easy way as OKC might find it pretty difficult, especially Westbrook.
To start with, let's take some numbers. Miami averages 98.59 points per game scored and 101.42 points per game allowed. Oklahoma averages 107 points per game scored and 105.16 points per game allowed. At home Miami averages 101.81 points per game scored and 102.56 points per game allowed. Oklahoma averages 103.85 points per game scored on road and 108.38 points per game allowed on road.
Recent performances by Thunder were pretty impressive. As Oladipo got injured, Westbrook returned to his old-fashioned triple-double life and team started played extremely overish basketball. Last five games by OKC finished with way loads of points, but there's one thing to say. All teams they played were more into offence than defence. Hawks, Timberwolves, Celtics, Pelicans and Suns - all are overish teams with lack of defensive effort. Miami is different. Their game style is somewhat similar to European basketball or something similar to what Jazz or Grizzlies are known for. To add, Heat is playing with a pretty short rotation and that's a thing that makes me wanna play under even more.
Oklahoma goes for shooting and points a lot, but the problems is that there's not a lot to choose from if Westbrook fails to deliver. Oladipo is considered as absent for this game and Westbrook got most help by his tall guys in last few games. Adams and Kanter are good in the box, but they will take on Whiteside, a player that's one of the best defensive players in league. I can't see too many names that can step up for OKC to improve scoring against good defense like Miami's. Gotta try this one, seems to have value in it.
Tip: the number of points will be Under 207.5 in the Full Time
