Brother of Former Heat Player Emerges as Trade Target For Miami
Brother of Former Heat Player Emerges as Trade Target For Miami originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In a surprising twist of the NBA trade rumor mill, Cody Martin, the twin brother of former Miami Heat standout Caleb Martin, has emerged as a potential trade target for the Heat as the offseason heats up. Advertisement According to a report shared by NBACentral on X, citing league sources via @TheSteinLine, the Miami Heat have shown interest in the Phoenix Suns' veteran swingman. This development comes as the Suns look to reshape their roster, potentially involving Cody in a multi-team deal that could also move Kevin Durant, the NBA's No. 8 all-time leading scorer. Cody, currently sporting the Suns' No. 17 jersey, brings a gritty, versatile skill set to the table—qualities that align with the Heat's renowned 'Heat Culture.' Miami Heat head coach Erik SpoelstraSam Navarro-Imagn Images His defensive tenacity and ability to contribute on both ends of the floor echo the impact his brother Caleb made during his tenure with Miami, where he became a fan favorite for his hustle and key playoff performances. Advertisement The familiarity between the Martin twins, who both hail from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and share a September 28, 1995, birthday, could give Miami an edge in integrating Cody seamlessly into their system. The Heat's interest might also be fueled by strategic roster planning, especially if they pursue a blockbuster trade involving a star like Kevin Durant. Cody's inclusion could serve as a valuable piece in negotiations or a complementary addition to bolster depth. As trade talks intensify, all eyes will be on whether the Heat can bring another Martin brother into the fold.

Mavericks at Celtics picks and predictions Prediction Celtics 117, Mavericks 105 PASS. The Celtics are the much better and healthier team and will win here as -500 favorites. However, the Celtics are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites, so pass and bet on the spread and/or total instead. CELTICS -9.5 (-115). Boston covered the spread in its last game as well as in its last home game. The Celtics have also been dominant ATS in their last 10 games against Dallas, going 8-1-1 ATS. If Davis plays, then the Mavs have a much better chance of covering here, but either way I lean toward the Celtics to cover. Be aware Boston is 4-6 ATS in its last 10 games. UNDER 229.5 (-110). The Under has hit in 2 of Boston's last 3 home games. The Under has hit in the last 3 meetings between these teams in Boston and is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall. With Dallas missing so many key pieces, I expect for the Mavs' offense to struggle, so the Under is safer here. Note that the Over is 7-3 in Dallas' last 10 games.
