Spread Pick: Miami Heat with handicap +5 at 1.76 Over/Under: Under 197.5 1.90 Bet Now!
The Clippers visit to Miami sees a game between two teams with six wins so far this campaign. The Clippers hold a 6-4 record while the Heat holds a 6-5 record. The fact that the Heat are currently 3-3 at home means that they are not exactly firing on all cylinders in Miami, but that was to be expected with the Heat coming to terms with the loss of LeBron James over the summer.
The Heat had been toiling for a while but their 83-95 win at Brooklyn on Monday had a feeling of big win, taking some of the pressure away from the side. Getting a big win on the road can completely change the mood and optimism of a team and the post-match interviews from the Heat squad on Monday definitely reflected a lightening of their load. It may be that the Clippers will bear the brunt of some new found fire.

Both teams coming into this game after a win
However, the Clippers are coming into this game on the back of a win as well having defeated Orlando by 90-114 on Wednesday. The thing is though, the Clippers have developed a habit of winning one game and then losing the next, so they will be keen to break this habit in Miami. One man who can help them achieve this is Chris Paul, who grabbed 16 points and 9 assists in just 30 minutes in that game.
Given that NBA games come thick and fast, injuries can often have an impact on how well a team can perform in any given game, and the two teams have contrasting fortunes when it comes to injuries for this match. The Clippers are reporting nothing significant with respect to injuries, but this isn’t the case for the Heat.
The Heat have a number of injuries
Danny Granger, Josh McRoberts and the influential Dwayne Wade are all going to miss out on this match and Luol Deng is being observed on a day to day basis. Mario Chalmers has been an able deputy for Wade, helping the player to get back into the good books of the fans after many felt that he was poor in the NBA Finals.
The Clippers have won three of their last five games while the Heat have won two of their last five games (although they won their last game breaking a run of three straight defeats), so there isn’t a lot between the teams and there is certainly very little that suggests there is a team on form that is going to wipe the floor with the opposition in Miami. This means that it looks like being a very tight game that could go either way depending on who plays, and how well the stand-ins perform.
When it comes to basketball betting for this game, I think the Heat will win with a handicap of +5 and with odds of 1.76, it makes sense taking this bet on. For punters looking for the Over/Under market, go for Under 197.5 with odds of 1.90.
