Miami Heat

The Lights took advantage of the problems of Chicago and Brooklyn, because they were on the first line of the Eastern Conference. Now the pressure on the team has increased, so that the wards of Eric Spoelstra have to give their best in every match.

Miami easily dealt with New York in the last meeting and chalked up the second victory in a row (110-96). Duncan Robinson, Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro did not leave the slightest chance for the opponent's defense, respectively, they deservedly got the victory. "Heat" is ready to go further and the duel against "sailboats" is next in line.

Los Angeles Clippers

Tyrone Lew's guys are still holding up pretty well given the team's problems. The Sailboats are forced to operate without their leaders, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, who are recovering from injuries.

The Clippers went on to win two in a row, which helped them stay in the eighth spot in the Western Conference. The team managed to deal with Washington (116-115) and put Orlando (111-102) in its place. The players are well aware that now every victory is worth its weight in gold, therefore, in order to stay in the play-in zone, they need to keep the bar high.

Prediction

The Clippers only perform as much as the current roster allows. Tyrone Lew tries to rebuild every time to somehow surprise his opponents, but it's hard to demonstrate his basketball against top teams.

The leader of the East is as concentrated as possible and sets itself the goal of breaking away from the group of pursuers as soon as possible, otherwise “Chicago” and “Brooklyn” breathe in the back. In our opinion, Miami will take advantage of the absence of the opponent's key players and show who is the boss in the home arena.

Our prediction is for handicap (-4) points for Miami Heat for odds of 1.67 in 1xBet bookmaker.

"Heat" demonstrates a stable and well-coordinated game, but now, when the competition is sky-high, the head coach relies more on the attack. "Sailboats" do not lose for two matches, that is, they are in a more or less acceptable shape, so we expect to see a productive confrontation.

Second bet is for a total over 205.5 points for 1.54.

Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.67.
