Miami Heat Odds
Online sports betting is not yet active in Florida. This page will be updated with the latest promos, news and odds once Florida sportsbooks launch.
With a winning culture led by former head coach & current team president Pat Riley and the famous South Beach nightlife, the Heat are a marquee destination for both NBA free agents and road teams.
Add legal online sports betting, which Florida will have at some point, and there’s no telling how big the Heat’s star factor will get. While All-Stars Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry and Bam Adebayo currently hold things down — and have a lot to do with how Heat moneylines, spreads or totals are set for each game — betting on the Heat is about to reach new levels.
Below, we’ll show you how to jump directly into the action. Florida sports betting is still tied up in the U.S. legal system after a US District Court judge invalidated the 2021 Florida gaming compact in November 2021. A Court of Appeals vacated that decision in June 2023 that could lead to a restart of sports betting in August 2023.
However, Fliff Sportsbook is similar to other sweepstakes casino models allowed in the Sunshine State. Floridians can use the social sportsbook to bet on the Heat.
Tonight’s Heat odds: moneyline, spread, props
The Heat ended their season losing to the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals.
Now, the offseason begins. But when next season begins in October, check here for the best odds for the next Heat game, as posted at Florida online sportsbooks. This includes game lines (spreads) plus NBA Finals futures odds and selected player props.
Best NBA bets for Heat games
Heat moneyline
A moneyline bet is a straightforward bet on which team will win the game. Here’s what a moneyline for a Heat-Pacers matchup might look like at the HardRock or on the BetRivers mobile app:
- Indiana Pacers +120
- Miami Heat -180
The team that’s favored is indicated with a minus sign (-) while the underdog is noted by a plus sign (+). In this tilt, the Heat are listed as the favorite at -180.
Those odds mean that to win $100 betting on the Heat, you would have to place a $180 wager. Meanwhile, a $100 bet on the Pacers (+120) would translate into a $120 win if the Pacers got the W. Note: You do not need to bet $100. It’s merely the unit used to explain your odds and payouts. If you bet $10, you’d get a similarly scaled payout.

Heat point spread
When you bet on the spread in a Heat game, you’re betting on the margin of victory. For example, a spread for a Heat-Celtics game at FanDuel Sportsbook Florida could look like this:
- Boston Celtics +5.5 (-110)
- Miami Heat -5.5 (+110)
As usual, the favorite is indicated by the minus sign (-) and the underdog by the plus sign (+). The numbers in brackets are the odds you use to calculate how much you’d win based on your wager. Half of a point (0.5) is often used by oddsmakers to prevent ties (AKA pushes).
If you bet on the -5.5 favored Heat, they would need to win by six points or more to cover the spread. If you wanted to bet against the Heat and take the +5.5 underdog Celtics, Boston would need to lose by five or fewer points, or win the game, to cover the spread.
Check out our live odds feed for tonight’s Heat point spread above.
Heat totals bets
A total bet, also known as an over/under, is a bet on whether the number of points scored by both teams will be over or under the amount listed by the oddsmakers. Here’s an example of an over/under for a hypothetical Heat-Raptors game as you might find on the BetMGM Sportsbook app.
- Over 211 (-110)
- Under 211 (-110)
An over bet, for example, would require the Heat and the Raps to rack up buckets for a combined score of more than 211. As with the spread, the number in brackets is the odds used to calculate your winnings based on your initial bet.
In this scenario, that could mean the Heat beating the Raps 115-110 for a total of 215. An under is a bet that the two teams will fall short of scoring 211 points combined.
Check the feed above for tonight’s totals line for the Heat.
Heat props & futures
Betting on Heat props and futures is a fun way to take your sports gambling further. With prop betting, you bet on specific players and events to happen during a game that doesn’t directly affect the game’s outcome.
Some examples of the NBA prop bets you can make through a Florida sportsbook while watching the Heat are:
- Who will be the Heat’s leading scorer in the first quarter?
- Will Jimmy Butler score more than 30 points in the game?
- How many three-pointers will Duncan Robinson hit during the game?
- Which team will have attempted more free throws by the end of the third quarter: the Heat or the Knicks?
Futures are bets on an event that will take place in the future, like end-of-season honors and championship titles. Examples of Heat futures odds include:
- Betting on the Heat making the NBA playoffs
- Betting on Bam Adebayo being named Defensive Player of the Year
- Betting on the Heat making it to the NBA Finals

Heat live betting odds
Live betting (or in-game wagering) allows you to bet on a Heat game while it’s happening in real time. Live betting is fast-paced and exciting, with Heat betting odds updated as the game progresses. For example, betting odds in a Heat game can be updated after every point scored or missed shot.
You have several betting options when it comes to live betting. You can make bets similar to the ones available before a game starts, including moneylines, spreads and totals. Or you can make partial game wagers, such as betting on the Heat to lead at a certain point in the game by a certain number of points.
There are also a variety of in-game prop bets you can consider. Most of them are based on the achievement of a specific statistic or milestone during the event, like the odds on Jimmy Butler scoring more than 15 points after halftime.
