In addition to Rondo one guy who should be contributing more is Chandler Parsons.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the Mavs play at a faster pace he is scoring less than he did last year with Houston. He has picked things up a bit lately but they still need more.<\/p>\n<h3>Miami<\/h3>\n<p>The Heat have been very sporadic this season, following up an impressive win over the Bulls on the road with a home loss to Milwaukee.<\/p>\n<p>This game will present an interesting matchup because the Heat are the second ranked defensive team in the league, so it will kind of be strength against strength.<\/p>\n<p>This Miami team is very different from last year\u2019s but still seems to be pretty public. \u00a0They have been a terrible bet at home this season with a 7-14-1 ATS record.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t fall into the trap.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63741&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>It is hard to find a player who has shown more improvement this season than Hassan Whiteside.<\/p>\n<p>He put up 16\/16 in their most recent game and the project from Marshall seems to finally be paying dividends.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly it means that Chris Bosh does not have to play against other centers. He is a much more effective matchup. both offensively and defensively as a power forward.<\/p>\n<h3>NBA Handicapping Trends:<\/h3>\n<p>Under is 3-0-1 in Mavericks last 4 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.<br \/>\nMavericks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall.<br \/>\nMavericks are 0-7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a S.U. loss.<br \/>\nHeat are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.<br \/>\nHeat are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss.<br \/>\nUnder is 4-0 in Heat last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.<br \/>\nOver is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings in Miami.<br \/>\nOver is 8-1 in the last 9 meetings.<br \/>\nMavericks are 13-3-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings in Miami.<\/p>\n<h3>4* NBA Prediction: \u00a0Miami +8.5<\/h3>\n<p>It is never a terrible idea backing a home underdog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NBA Score prediction: \u00a0Dallas 99 &#8211; Miami 94<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Heat have been able to use their defense and the newfound production of Hassan Whiteside to surprise some teams.
