After Saturday's postponement, back at Intuit Dome should be a plus for the Clips, who have dropped four straight away but won three in a row at home. A recurring theme all season for LA has been under results which have hit in seven of the last ten in their latest uprising for Ty Lue's bunch. Earlier this season, LA had an 11-4-1 under run. More interesting, perhaps, is the Heat on the improve while Jimmy Butler serves a seven-game suspension. The three consecutive wins on this road trip (at Golden State, Utah, and Portland) are among the better Miami efforts of the season, with the Heat under in each and allowing fewer than 100 points all in all three games. Play Heat-Clippers Under
Ivica Zubac is having a career year for the Clippers but I do not believe his current scoring production is sustainable. Zubac has seen a significant uptick in usage and is averaging double digit shot attempts for the first time in his 9 year career, Zubac's previous career high was 7.6 FGAs. The Clippers are healthy for the first time this season with Kawhi Leonard returning to the lineup. This also qualifies as a difficult matchup as the Heat are good defensively, play at a slow pace, and defend opposing Centers well.
FanDuel. Bam Adebayo has failed to clear this line in 9/15 games without Jimmy Butler (suspended) this season, including 7 of the last 8. He'll now get one of the tougher matchups for a center against the Clippers and Ivica Zubac. Los Angeles is fourth defensive against roll-men in the pick and roll (Bam’s preferred playtype), and allow the seventh fewest assists per game.
