Heat vs Clippers Predictions and Picks
Miami is currently second in points, tied for seventh in points allowed, and fourth in point differential. Davion Mitchell leads the team in assists. This will be the second night of back-to-back games for the Heat. They are 0-2 on their current four-game road trip and 1-3 on the road for the season. Miami is a bit banged up, and the offense will be missing some key scorers for this game. The Heat just had a great game from the field, but need to get the three-pointer production up and actually try to get an early lead, and not chase the game.
Los Angeles is currently 30th in points, fifth in points allowed, and 16th in point differential. James Harden leads the team in assists. The Clippers have been off for two days and the offensive production has been high. They are 3-0 at home and have played well on both sides of the ball. Los Angeles has solid depth going for them and will look to keep the three-point numbers high. They can keep up with Miami at the free throw line and will try to keep the points in the paint flowing.
Best Bet: Heat Spread
Even though Miami is playing in the second night of back-to-backs, they have kept games decently close in their road losses. The Heat are still top three in scoring and top 10 on defense. They can match up well with the Clippers production and just need to make sure they set the tempo and get some threes going. Los Angeles could also be slightly rusty from being off for two days.
