I personally speculate that neither team will put in maximum effort for this game. It’s likely that both sides will conserve energy. The Heat and Thunder competing hard here doesn’t make much sense—they’d be better off focusing on the injury-plagued Mavericks. Meanwhile, the Thunder resting Chet is clearly a move to prepare for Friday’s matchup against the Timberwolves. I expect the total points scored to be under 219.5.

Pick: Total points under 219.5 (bet365)
