The Miami Heat look to bounce back at home tonight when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. Watch free on Fubo.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat face off for the first time this season when they tip off in Miami on Friday night. The Thunder are playing on back-to-back nights and are coming off a 105-99 win against another Florida team in the Orlando Magic. It was a nice way to bounce back after losing the NBA Cup against the Milwaukee Bucks who won the in-season tournament on a barrage of three pointers. The Thunder responded with a good defensive game of their own against the Magic and a sharp game from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who finished with a game-high 35 points.

Jalen Williams scored six in a row in a 14-3 run in the fourth quarter to hold off the Magic who nearly pulled off a comeback. OKC had an 18-4 run in the second quarter that gave the Thunder the lead that the team managed to hold on to for the rest of the game. The Thunder were still able to win even though they had nearly a six minute window where they didn’t score. Oklahoma City is the very slight 1-5-point favorite to win on the road tonight.

Miami is coming off a tough 125-124 loss in overtime against the Detroit Pistons on Monday that ended a four-game winning streak. Tim Hardaway Jr. got hot in overtime hitting three three-pointers to make all the difference in the game. The loss overshadowed a great game by Jimmy Butler who finished the night with a game-high 35 points. Butler became just the third player in NBA history to finish with at least 35 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists and four steals in a game. Miami is still only 1.5 games back from Orlando for first place in the Southeast division and have a good shot at bouncing back at home tonight.
