⚡Pod Preview
Brandon called this one a coin flip on the latest podcast:
⚡Too Tired?
Oklahoma City looked tired in Orlando last night. The energy of the NBA Cup tournament followed by a quick travel turnaround appeared to have caught up to them while the Magic wore a huge lead down in the second half. But they're still the second-youngest team in the league, and hyperactive defense is their bread and butter. As Shai said in his postgame interview, Miami won't feel bad taking advantage of any tired play.
⚡Prediction: MIA 110 OKC 102
Miami is at home, has won 4 of 5 and, ill-tempered as Jimmy Butler may have been during their time off, has played only two games to OKC's four over the last 10 days. This feels like a hit-the-wall game for the road weary Thunder.
