NBA: Tuesday's play

Play: Oklahoma City/Miami over 199 -105

Time: 7:30 p.m. ET

Reasoning: The Thunder have scored 127 points in each of their last two games while shooting 55%. On Friday they put up 69 first-half points against Golden State. On Sunday they scored 79 first-half points against Orlando and were able to rest Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook for the final 15 minutes. OKC has shot 50% or better in five of its last 11 games and has averaged 106.6 points over its last 25. Durant has averaged 28.6 points over his last eight games since coming back from his most recent injury. He has averaged 33.5 points and has shot 50% against Miami over the past two seasons. The Heat could have leading scorer Dwyane Wade (hamstring) back for this one. Even if Miami doesn't get Wade back, it is getting offensive numbers from Chris Bosh (21.6 ppg) and Luol Deng (14.2 ppg). The Heat have a plus-4.8 rebounding margin over their last six and the Thunder average 12.2 offensive rebounds per contest.

Record: 253-191-8 (57.0%)
Bankroll: +163.92%
