- Time: 1:10 AM UTC
- Location: Kaseya Center, Miami, Florida
Game Overview
The Miami Heat (5-4) host the Portland Trail Blazers (5-3) in a closely matched contest. Miami is on a three-game home winning streak but missing key center Bam Adebayo. Portland comes off a recent close win and holds a slight edge in the moneyline odds as favorites by 3 points.
Key Factors to Consider
- Miami has won three straight at home, demonstrating strong offensive output led by Norman Powell. Portland has back-to-back road wins and a balanced attack with players like Deni Avdija and Jrue Holiday contributing significantly.
- Recent H2H favors Miami in 7 of the last 10 matchups, though the last game went to Portland 116-107 in January 2025. Last two meetings saw Miami winning comfortably within spread.
- Miami's star center Bam Adebayo is out due to a toe injury, significantly weakening their interior presence. Tyler Herro remains sidelined but expected back mid-November. Portland is missing Scoot Henderson; Shaedon Sharpe is probable.
- Game played at Miami's home court, Kaseya Center, potentially boosting Heat's confidence despite being underdogs. Game time and rest favor Portland slightly following a recent emotional win.
- Miami aims to extend the home winning streak and avoid the pressure of falling behind in Eastern standings. Portland looks to build on momentum and exploit Miami's injury vulnerabilities.
