The Clippers are in the front end of a back-to-back at the end of a long road trip, and it's probably fair to assume at least a few guys might have the South Beach flu today considering they have been in Miami since early Saturday. The Heat have followed a long skid with back-to-back wins. They are frankly due a home cover as a dog at 0-5 ATS this season.
We never want to completely dismiss the Heat but we're not of the mind to wait around any longer for Miami, which has covered one spread in almost three weeks, a span of ten games. Meanwhile, we look for reasons to go with the Clippers, who whipped the Heat 121-104 on New Year's Day at Crypto.com, have no injuries of note, and are 14-3 SU since Christmas. Note Jimmy Butler did miss the Jan.; 1 meeting for Miami but doubt he could have by himself slowed the rampant Clips, who hit nearly 59% from the floor in that comfy win. Play Clippers
This number is far too low for Bam who is having a career year offensively. Bam is averaging a healthy 35.2 PRA per game this season and while the Heat are as healthy as theyve been all season and have a lot of options offensively, the Heat still run a lot of offense through Bam. The Clippers are a tough matchup on paper but I actually think this is an easier matchup than it may appear at first glance. Ivica Zubac is a GTD and if he does suit up, Bam has tremendous results vs Zubac historically. If Zubac sits, I am confident that Bam will have a field day against Mason Plumlee. Either way I believe Bam stuffs the stat sheet today,
This is simply too low of a number for a player the caliber of Paul George who is likely to play upwards of 30+ minutes. George averages approximately 9.0 combined Reb + Ast on the season and the 9x All-Star should play enough minutes to eclipse this line.
