Both teams are postseason-bound, but there is still a lot to consider when it comes to Heat vs Mavericks Prediction Win Probability and odds on Wednesday night. Basketball betting markets make Dallas heavy favourites on the road. Both teams are on the second night of back-to-backs, but the Heat went to overtime on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Heat vs Mavericks Prediction and Picks:

•         Selection: Dallas Mavericks -6.5
•         Best Odds: 1.91
•         Bookmaker: Bet365
•         Stakes: 2/10

Odds are as of April 10th 2024. Odds may now differ. 

Dallas is 10-3 against the spread on the second night of back-to-backs. Miami has gone 1-8 ATS as a home dog this season. While some could question Dallas’ motivation at this stage of the season with their first-round matchup locked in, the Mavs have shown no signs of slowing down in recent games.

Miami’s missing rotation players are a factor here, too. Going to double-overtime on Tuesday is bound to have an impact, and we could see Erik Spoelstra carefully manage the minutes of Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler. While the Heat will want homecourt advantage over the Sixers in the first round of the Play-In Tournament, they will surely prioritise being fresh for the postseason.

Miami Heat News, Injury Report, Schedule: Weakened by Injuries

After the Heat got the better of the Hawks on Tuesday night, Tyler Herro said there’s a chance he will be rested on Wednesday. It was a double-overtime epic for Miami, who were without Terry Rozier, Josh Richardson, and Duncan Robinson. That triumvirate is set to sit out here.

Miami is still pursuing the Sixers in the Eastern Conference standings. No strangers to the Play-In, the Heat are guaranteed two shots at taking the seventh or eight seed but would like to have homecourt advantage for their probable matchup with Joel Embiid and the 76ers.

Dallas Mavericks News, Injury Report, Schedule: Rolling Since All-Star

Only three teams have a better net rating than the Mavericks since the All-Star break. Supplementary additions at the trade deadline have given Luka Doncic perhaps the most balanced roster of his NBA career. The chemistry between the Slovenian and Kyrie Irving continues to grow.

Dallas is avoiding turnovers, and rebounding at a solid rate. Doncic and Irving are a nightmare for opposing teams to guard, including the Heat. At the other end, they have enough size to be at least a passable defensive team.

Heat vs Mavericks H2H: Well-Matched Franchises

The Miami Heat have a 38-36 advantage over the Dallas Mavericks in the all-time series. These two teams last went head-to-head in March, with Dallas running out six-point victors.

Both teams won on their home courts when they faced off in 2022-23. The Mavs blew out the Heat in Texas before losing by seven points in Florida in a game that fell at a similar time of year to this matchup. Crucially, though, Dallas was on the cusp of tanking at that point and languishing outside the top 10 in the Western Conference.
