What to Know
The Heat will be in front of their home fans on Wednesday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They and the Dallas Mavericks will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET at Kaseya Center without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
It may have taken double overtime to finish the job, but the Heat ultimately got the result they hoped for on Tuesday. They managed a 117-111 victory over the Hawks.
The Heat’s win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Jimmy Butler, who almost dropped a double-double on 25 points and nine assists. Another player making a difference was Tyler Herro, who scored 33 points along with five rebounds.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks entered their tilt with the Hornets with three consecutive wins but they’ll enter their next game with four. They put the hurt on the Hornets with a sharp 130-104 victory on Tuesday. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 69-47.
The Mavericks’ win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Luka Doncic, who dropped a triple-double on 39 points, 12 rebounds, and ten assists. The contest was Doncic’s ninth in a row with at least 30 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Daniel Gafford, who scored 26 points along with seven rebounds and two blocks.
Miami’s win bumped their record up to 44-35. As for Dallas, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they’ve won 11 of their last 12 matches, which provided a massive bump to their 49-30 record this season.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Heat haven’t given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 11.8 turnovers per game (they’re ranked fourth in turnovers per game overall). However, it’s not like the Mavericks struggle in that department as they’ve been averaging only 12. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
The Heat came up short against the Mavericks in their previous matchup back in March, falling 114-108. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Doncic, who shot 7-for-13 from long range and dropped a triple-double on 35 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. Now that the Heat know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? Check CBSSports.com after the match to find out.

Second half highlights as FC Cincinnati squandered a late lead
Cincinnati took a 3-2 lead in the 64th minute.
Evander fired a rocket from the top of the 18 into the top left corner. Deneky passed ahead to him, then he maneuvered around two defenders, and no one stepped up to him. It is Evander’s seventh goal of the season.
Miami tied it in the 80th minute, 3-3.
After a Cincy turnover, Rodrigo De Paul quickly found Messi in transition, who delivered to Mateo Silvetti. Silvetti, playing his first game in a month, maneuvered in space and scored from the top of the box for his fourth of the season.
Miami took a 4-3 lead in the 83rd. A Messi free kick from 35 yds was saved by Cincy keeper Roman Celentano. He collided with Andrei Chirila, which knocked the ball out of his hands. Miami’s German Berterame pounced on the rebound to give Miami the lead, his fourth goal of the season.
Chirila landed hard after the collision and was taken out of the game.
Miami took a 5-3 lead when Messi made a sliding shot after a cross from Silvetti. The ball went off the post, then off Roman Celentano, who was on his stomach trying to get the ball, then in. Messi was credited with the goal and a hat trick.
FC Cincinnati took a 2-1 lead in the 49th minute.
Pavel Bucha scored from close range. He took a crossing pass from Bryan Ramirez after Denkey found him on the left side in transition.
It was Bucha’s second goal of the MLS season and the second assist for Ramirez. Bucha was hit in the head late in the first half and examined by trainers, but stayed in the game.
Moments later, Messi had a free kick from 30 yards saved by Celentano.
Messi scored again in the 56th minute to tie it, 2-2. He had a nice give-and-go with Rodrigo De Paul, who dribbled near the end line and crossed to him from the right side. Messi was unmarked and scored easily from near the penalty spot.
In the 62nd minute, Luis Suarez missed an open shot that Celentano saved, set up by a quick transition by Miami.
Miami ended with 17 shots to 10 for Cincinnati, six on target. After an even first half, Miami controlled the expected-goals mark, with 4 to 1.6 for the home team.
First half highlights
Messi scored from close range in the 24th off a turnover by Matt Miazga. Miazga tried to pass to a teammate on the side but the pass went straight to Messi.
He had a goal in the fifth minute waved off by offsides.
In the 32nd minute, Cincinnati won a corner kick, which Evander placed right in front of the goal line but the ball was cleared away.
In the 42nd minute, a Kevin Denkey penalty kick tied it up. Denkey drew the PK after collecting a good pass into the box by Pavel Bucha and being grabbed by Gonzalo Lujan. Denkey converted for his team-high eighth goal of the season.
The first half was tied 1-1 and virtually even on statistics. Both sides had seven shots, one on goal, and 1.1 expected goals. Neither keeper made a save.

A wildfire has scorched over 11,000 acres in Florida’s Everglades, just outside the Miami metro suburbs, prompting officials to warn nearby residents of dangerous smoke.
The Max Road Miramar Fire is straddling the line between Miami-Dade and Broward counties. At least 11,000 acres have been burned, and the fire is 80% contained, according to the Florida Forest Service.
The fire was first reported Sunday. The Pembroke Pines Police Department said that drivers stopping to watch the fires along US-27 were causing dangerous traffic backups.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said they were working with state forest officials to protect nearby properties.
Florida Senator Rick Scott urged people on social media to adhere to any local road closures.
Aerial footage showed flames in the vicinity of a local subdivision, and smoke could be seen billowing for miles.
This comes in the middle of Florida’s wildfire season, which is being compounded by a historic drought ongoing across the state.
Almost 2,000 wildfires have burned nearly 120,000 acres just since the start of the year, the forest service said earlier this month.
Wildfires south of Jacksonville canceled and delayed Amtrak service last month.
While the vast majority of the state is under Exceptional or Extreme Drought conditions, Miami itself is roughly an inch below average rainfall, year-to-date.
However, parts of the Everglades are also experiencing Extreme Drought.
Fire officials are warning residents to take precautions if smoke is impacting your area. Those with respiratory conditions, older adults and children may be especially sensitive to smoke exposure.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue is advising people to stay indoors when possible and set home and vehicle A/C systems to recirculate.
