1.5 units on Miami -235 (moneyline) (risk 1.5 to return 2.14)
Result:
WIN

The LA Clippers are learning that things aren't as smooth as they were when Chris Paul was directing the offense. The Clipers are just 11-16 on the season, and have even bigger problems. They are also without Blake Griffin, and PG Austin Rivers has joined him on the sidelines with a concussion and has been downgraded to OUT for this game. Miami has issues of their own as Hassan Whiteside is out with a knee injury. This will be a war of attrition, but Miami simply has more quality bodies for this one. Miami is also playing at home, while the Clippers are 3000 miles away and playing in their third game of an East Coast road trip - all in four days. I think this one could be close, but fatigue should factor in late, and Miami should come away with a home win. Take Miami on the moneyline.
