Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads - December 14 | 2022-23 NBA Season
The Paycom Center plays host to the clash between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Miami Heat on Wednesday (December 14) in NBA Regular Season action. The 11-16 Thunder are currently 13th in the Western Conference standings while the 13-15 Heat are 10th in the East. The betting odds and predictions are down below:
The Thunder are on a three-game losing streak as they come into this game on the back of a 114-121 loss against Luka Doncic's Dallas Mavericks. Doncic put up yet another clinic, scoring 38 points, 11 boards, and eight assists. The Thunder defense, similar to the rest of the league, could not keep the Dallas superstar quiet.
A phenomenal 42-point performance by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was still not enough to get them over the line. He has been their backbone for the entire campaign, putting up ridiculous numbers in every single game. He currently has 18 30+ point games this season already.
The 13-15 Heat come into this game on the back of a 87-82 win over the Indiana Pacers. Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler put on a fabulous duo performance. Butler ended the game with 20-7-5 while Adebayo had 22-17-3.

Thunder vs. Heat Betting Prediction
The Thunder are on a terrible run of form and should continue tonight. The Heat are not at full strength but are still strong enough to beat this OKC side. Shai is on fire at the moment, but the Heat side led by Bam and Tyler Herro should be able to get the job done
Heat: -142
