Why Bet on the Miami Heat?

Erik Spoelstra and his team will try to bounce back from a loss at the hands of the Nuggets. This is the second of five-straight road games since finishing back-to-back games at the FTX Arena.

The Heat averaged 110.1 points (10th) in ten games on 46.4% shooting (sixth). They are one of the most efficient shooting teams in the league now with a 52.9% effective field goal percentage (ninth). More than that, they record one of the best numbers from downtown. The side averages a 35.7% three-point percentage (seventh).

Defensively, the Heat also pose a threat to their opponents. They hold opponents to 101.5 points per game (second). Rebounding is also one of their strongest suits. The Heat averages 57.0 total rebounds (second) and 38.1 defensive rebounds per game (fourth). Edrice Adebayo is an integral part of the roster and holds a team-high 11.8 rebounds per game.

Veteran player Jimmy Butler leads the scoring. The forward tops the team in points (25.3) and steals per game (2.1). Meanwhile, Kyle Lowry tops the squad with 7.1 assists per game.

Both P.J. Tucker and Bam Adebayo are day-to-day. If the duo fails to suit up on Wednesday, expect to see Dewayne Dedmon and KZ Okpala starting the game.

Why Bet on the Los Angeles Lakers?

The Los Angeles Lakers are out of the two-game losing streak rut. They recently pulled off a narrow 126-123 victory against the Hornets. This is their second of five-straight home games, and the team looks forward to adding more home wins to their record.

The Lakers average 111.5 points per game (fifth) on 46.3% shooting (seventh). It’s where most of their threat comes from. LeBron James leads his team with 24.83 points and 2.3 steals per game. But since the forward currently deals with injury issues, the team has to rely on other scorers like Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, and Carmelo Anthony.

The Lakers allow 112.4 opponent points per game and are currently one of the worst records in the league. Nevertheless, the team can rely on its rebounding. As a team, the side records 55.5 total rebounds (fifth) and 36.2 defensive rebounds per game (ninth). The Lakers also have one of the best blocks statistics with 6.3 blocks per game (second).

Anthony Davis is questionable for Wednesday’s game along with LeBron James. Without the two star players, it will be a difficult night for the team. More than that, Kendrick Nunn and Talen Horton-Tucker are still out recovering from injuries.

Blazers vs. Clippers Betting Trends

The Heat are 5-5 in their last ten regular-season road games against the Lakers (5-5 ATS).
The Heat are 4-2 in their last six regular-season road games (4-2 ATS).
The totals went under in four of the Heat’s last five regular-season games at the Staples Center.
The Lakers are 4-2 in their last six regular-season home games against the Heat (3-3 ATS).
The Lakers are 7-3 in their last ten regular-season home games (2-8 ATS).
The totals went over in two of the Lakers’ last five regular-season games at the Staples Center.

Blazers vs. Clippers Expert Betting Prediction

The Miami Heat enter the Staples Center as favorites since the LA Lakers are banged up with injuries. The Lakers have eight players on the injury report, including James and Davis. But if Davis recovers in time, this relieves some of the pressure off their backs. He can cause enough trouble and help his side cover the spread and even help his team secure a victory. At the end of the day, we eagerly await this clash since the two met in the 2019-20 NBA Finals.
