Key Factors

Favors Over

Nikola Jovic has put up 14.0 points per game over the last 5 games, 5.4 more than he's put up in all games this season.
The Heat have played at the quickest pace in the league this year.
The Heat will likely see an increase in possessions today from being pitted against the 3rd-most up-tempo pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Pelicans).
The Miami Heat have been the 6th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create additional chances for scoring and assists).

Favors Under
