The LA Clippers are playing good basketball this year, and the upcoming road game in Miami is a perfect moment to show their championship aspirations. Defeating the Heat in Florida will send a message to all other rivals; that’s for sure. Meanwhile, the hosts are having problems and are trying to find a way to a safe harbor. No need to say how much a win against the LAC would help.
LA Clippers News
Over the past 10 games, the team from Los Angeles has eight victories, so it is no wonder why they sit third in the West with 32 wins and 15 defeats. They aren’t drawing too much attention, which wasn’t the case in the previous few years. The game in Florida will be yet another one on their Eastern tourn, where they met some of the best teams in the conference.
We saw the Clippers beating the Raptors, Celtics, Wizards, and the Pistons, while their only loss was to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Ohio, 118-108. Kawhi Leonard leads the way for the Clippers with 24.1 points per night and 53% FG.
Miami Heat News
After a long stretch of poor results, during which the Heat lost seven consecutive events, many of them at home, the team recovered a little bit, posting back-to-back wins against the Kings at home, 115-106, and the Wizards 110-102 on the road. Jimmy Butler combined for 55 points in these two events and had a team-high in the last four games.
What we noticed was that the Heat offense struggled throughout the campaign. They couldn’t score more than 100 points against the Raptors, the Magic, and the Grizzlies during this negative stretch, which is why it’s incredibly important for Jimmy B to show up.

LA Clippers vs. Miami Heat Betting Tip
Miami should be better with Jimmy B in the current shape, but we won’t bet on their win; instead, pick under 223.5 points. After seeing them handling the Kings and limiting them to 106 points, something tells us that the Clippers won’t reach their average of 120 buckets, while on the other end, the Heat’s offense isn’t one of the more productive, therefore, the line seems too high.- Betting Tips: Under 223.5
