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

PHX vs MIA Dream11: COVID-19 continues to pulverize the world and of course, the NBA, being a part of the world, has been hit with its full force too. Still, the NBA league has kept ongoing due to the league’s flexible approach towards quarantine and the provision to sign ten-day deals. And that is why I am here, writing my thoughts about the game between the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat.

Suns are the first team to reach 30 wins this season and despite missing two of their starters in Crowder and Ayton, the team has managed a three-game winning streak and with the most likely to play here, the team will look even more imposing. Suns was the NBA finalists last season and if they reach that stage again, well, it won’t be that big of a surprise.

On the other hand, the Miami Heat has shown its own depth and has 24 wins and 15 losses which have been a more than decent effort considering that their top-two scorers in Butler and Adebayo have missed a lot of games in the middle. The team has seen many reserves up their games and showcase that Miami is one of the deepest teams in the league.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Suns: A well-built squad with a lot of pieces
When your backup wing in Cameron and backup Forward in Jalen Smith can score 15 or more regularly, the team depth is incredible. This Suns team has a treasure trove of wings with Crowder, Johnson, and Bridges all capable of playing at a high-clip on both ends of the floor. What makes them even more effective is playing with a legendary playmaker in Chris Paul and a dynamic scorer like Devin Booker. Now add someone like Deandre Ayton to the mix, who can pack the paint, play defense both at the perimeter and in the paint, while grabbing a ton of rebounds, phew, there are too many pieces. And we are not done here, off the bench, Cameron Payne brings high-quality scoring and playmaking to keep the momentum ticking. The Suns are deep and a team that can pull through the COVID-19 outbreaks and injuries.

Heat: They have found some high-quality production
Of all the deep reserves for the Heat, perhaps, Omer Yurtseven has taken it to whole another level. As a second back-up to Bam Adebayo, he has grabbed more rebounds than Bam, clasping 12 or more regularly and also giving more than decent scoring. With Kyle Lowry, the team has remained motivated and competitive on both ends of the floor. Meanwhile, Max Strus has scored 20 or more on a regular basis. Both Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson have had been inefficient at times but hey, Herro can score 16+ regularly while Robinson has had some strong nights too. With PJ Tucker, the defense has remained sturdy and if Butler plays in this game, the Suns can face a challenging foe.
