The Thunder have an opportunity to achieve their first win streak in Oklahoma City if everything goes according to plan tonight against the Miami Heat. A win against the Heat is by no means a given (more of an upset actually), but the way the Thunder have been playing as of late, most games can now be considered possible wins.
The Heat are coming off of a loss last night in Houston where they were on the wrong end of a perfect performance from the field by Yao Ming. The Heat are averaging 96.8 points per game and give up the same so expect both teams to finish with close to 100 points. The Heat tend to get outrebounded by their opponents whereas the Thunder tend to lead in rebounds so look for OKC to have the advantage when it comes to boards. If the Thunder take advantage of second chance opportunities and keep Dwayne Wade in check (30 points is ok, 40+ is not), then this should be the win that makes this a streak.
