Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Score Predictions

The Inside the Heat staff aims to predict who will emerge victorious in Wednesday's contest
In this story:

Anthony Pasciolla: Thunder 117, Heat 105.

Miami could be in for a very rough night against one of the Western Conference's top teams. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren have been dominant all season, and there's a high likelihood it will continue on Wednesday evening. However, if Bam Adebayo manages to shut down Holmgren, it could lead to a productive night.

Prediction record: 2-1

Shandel Richardson: Thunder 121, Heat 113. 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren are playing like another duo that used to lead the Thunder to victories. Yes, they are putting up numbers like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook did in the early 2010s. The Heat will struggle to defend them in this one. 

Prediction record: 1-2 

Jayden Armant: Thunder 123, Heat 116.

The Heat are going up against one of the highest-scoring teams in the league. Honestly, I just don’t see Miami being able to matchup against them defensively or keep up with them offensive end. I think Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren will be too much for the Heat to handle. If not them, then some random player like Cason Wallace might break out with 30 points.

Prediction record: 3-0

Devin Brown: Thunder 123 ,Heat 117

This seems like a terrible matchup on paper for the Miami Heat. They have struggled to stop point guards from getting into the paint all season long, and now they face MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. I'm interested to see how Erik Spoelstra plans to defend the Thunder. 

Prediction record: 1-2
