MIA vs PHX Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Miami Heat vs Phoenix Suns

MIA vs PHX Dream11: NBA Regular Season is soon going to end and we have seen around 80% of the games unfold. With Playoffs inching closer, the heat has picked up and there are various teams vying for different positions but with each day, it is becoming clearer which teams will line up as the top six ones and which ones are in contention for seventh to the tenth position which means you get into the Play-in tournament. However, the two teams who meet here in Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns are at the top of their Conferences.

The Heat has been developing a special unit throughout the season and bringing in Kyle Lowry and PJ Tucker during the offseason has surely brought humungous gains. As the Playoffs will near, the value of these two players will only increase as Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo have been paired up with two wonderful players. But that is not it, the depth of the team is incredible and down the line, Tyler Herro is most likely to lead the team in scoring.

On the other hand, the Phoenix Suns are the only ones to accumulate over 50 wins, and their tendency to read the game has been better than anyone. Chris Paul and Devin Booker have been missing from the picture recently but despite missing them, the team has seen Ayton, Bridges, Payne, Shamet, Crowder, and Johnson step it up.

Host: Miami Heat
Visitors: Phoenix Suns
Match Timing: 10 March, @ 06:00 AM
Venue: FTX Arena

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Heat: The East’s jewel
What separates the Heat from the other squads in the East is their team depth. While it is true that other teams have their own combination of superstars, I am sure that no team has the depth and balance on both ends of the floor. This is what makes the Heat special, they can end up missing two to three starters but their deep bench will be up to rescue them even against elite teams. In addition to the deep bench, two hustle players in Tucker and Lowry have been huge difference-makers. When Butler and Adebayo went down, these two along with Robinson, Herro, Yurtseven, Strus, Martin, Vincent, and Dedmon picked up the slack and rolled over a bunch of wins. This is why I say that the team is deep as it gets.

With Victor Oladipo back in the fray, the Guard positions look absolutely intimidating. Butler, Adebayo, Robinson, Tucker, Lowry, all are incredible individual defenders, help defenders, and also hustle hard on both ends of the floor. The team has two high-quality shot creators in Butler and Herro while Lowry can act as a scorer and playmaker too. On the other hand, Adebayo can wreak havoc in the paint with his athletic abilities and physicality and Tucker also brings a lot of rugged game at the big Forward position. Bench players Strus, Dedmon, Martin, and Vincent have responded to the call when given decent minutes, and having Victor Oladipo further bolsters the scoring as a superb isolation scorer.

Suns: They are deep too
The Suns have done a great job at keeping the campaign afloat even without Paul and Booker. This is a testament to the team’s depth and also the great balance in the lineup. Bridges is having a season of his life, Ayton is one of the best Centers in the league, Jae Crowder has a significant impact on both ends of the floor. However, we know these three are incredible players but how about Payne and Shamet! While Payne has done a great job of filling the hole created by the absence of Chris Paul with his high-quality playmaking and scoring, Shamet gives the team an extra option as a scorer at the off-guard position. Cameron Johnson has also been having an incredible season at both ends of the floor.

This is all fine and dandy during the Regular Season but the team will require their two guards once the Playoffs arrive. And it is believed that Paul will heal before the postseason and I am pretty sure that the Suns will finish with the best record in the league even without the superstar Point Guard. The defense of the Suns is incredible, they have both size and athleticism, that can help them to shut down the perimeter and paint alike. Apart from that, there are just too many options on the offensive end, both in terms of shot-creation and off-the-ball looks. This is why the Suns are the favorites to win it all; remember they made the Finals last season.
