The Miami Heat hold a 12-10 record at home. One can’t say that they’ve been formidable, but obviously hold a slight advantage when they play at the AmericanAirlines Arena. But the Phoenix Suns are a major threat looking to break into the door of every team they play.
The Heat vs Suns is a well-matched game, and Phoenix has the odds titling in its favor based on the recent run of form. The Suns are 2-1 in their last three while the Heat are 0-3.
