Tips and Trends

Miami Heat at Phoenix Suns [ESPN | 8 PM ET]

Heat: Miami's Udonis Haslem is one of the NBA's smallest center and has a big task ahead of him tonight in guarding former teammate Shaquille O'Neal. “I’m just looking forward to seeing him, period, not just the challenge,” Haslem said. “We had a good run together. There’s much love there between me and him. But other than that, I’m approaching it like any other game. Nothing special about it.” Former Sun Shawn Marion will also be facing some of his old teammates. “I love the fans in Phoenix. I had a great 8 1/2 years there,” Marion said. “I was sad to go. I think it was sad for me to go. But it is what it is. It’s a business, we’ll go there and we’ll try to get a win.”

Heat are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games vs. Pacific Division.
The OVER is 10-4 in Miami's last 14 games vs. Pacific Division.

Key Injuries - F Shawn Marion (personal) is expected to return.
C/F Jamaal Magloire (hand) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 96

Suns (-8, O/U 200): Phoenix center Shaquille O'Neal will face his former team for the first time and has enjoyed big nights in his first games against former teams in the past. O'Neal averaged 24.5 points and 14.5 rebounds in his first games against the Magic and Lakers and could be primed for another big performance tonight. “The type of person Shaq is and the pride he has, I’m sure he didn’t feel like he was getting the benefit of the doubt down there at the end of the day,” Suns guard Raja Bell said. “He has something to prove to the league and Miami. So I wouldn’t expect much less than Shaq coming out early and dominating.”

Home team is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings.
The OVER is 22-8 in Phoenix's last 30 games vs. Eastern Conference.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 104



Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers [ESPN | 10:30 PM ET]

Mavs: Dallas is playing some of its best basketball of the season, riding a five-game winning streak. Dirk Nowitzki is averaging 28.8 points and 11.6 rebounds during that stretch while the team is limiting the opposition to 41 percent field-goal shooting and 93 points per game. One monster challenge for the Mavs will be trying to get a win in LA, where they have lost 31 of the last 34 times and are just 10-59 all-time.

Underdog is 10-4-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings.
The OVER is 12-4 in Dallas' last 16 games vs. Pacific Division.

Key Injuries - F Josh Howard (ankle) is day-to-day.
G Gerald Green (back) is day-to-day.

PROJECTED SCORE: 100 (OVER - Total Play of the Day)

Lakers (-11, O/U 204): Like Dallas, LA has also won five straight heading into this matchup. Kobe Bryant is coming off a season-low 12 points in a 120-93 rout of New Jersey on Tuesday, but head coach Phil Jackson isn't worried about his star. “I think it’s a good sign and it’s a healthy sign,” Jackson said. “But we want Kobe to shoot the ball well and have big games, obviously. That’s the focal part of our offense - to get things through him. We want to have him be the threat, so that everybody has to overplay and always be concerned with him.”

Lakers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
The OVER is 7-3 in LA's last 10 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 110
