A difficult situational spot for Miami playing its fifth road game over the last seven contests. They don't have a strong offense and have dropped three of five, including as a 6-point favorite at Minnesota. The Heat beat hapless Houston on Monday but played without three starters, forward Jimmy Butler (right-ankle sprain), center Bam Adebayo (knee), and guard Victor Oladipo (knee), as well as backup guard Tyler Herro. This is their third game in four nights and they face a motivated San Antonio squad that has a shot at the final playoff slot in the West. The Spurs come off a pair of impressive road wins at Phoenix and Indiana, beating the Suns 111-85 as a +12 dog. Miami is 5-12 ATS on the road against teams with losing home records while the Spurs are 11-4 ATS versus the Heat. Play San Antonio.
