Miami Heat vs Los Angeles Lakers betting tips

Miami Heat is 5th on the East Conference table with 26 wins and 15 losses. At home, they have a 14-13 w/l record. 

Miami Heat was on the run of four wins in a row until their last game when they lost 124-112 at home against Memphis Grizzlies. The home side was the favorite to win, but guests played well from the start. From the second quarter, Memphis Grizzlies took the lead and control of the game. In the second half, guests had a double-digit lead most of the time, so they recorded a relatively easy win. Jimmy Butler was the best for the Heat with 23 points, while Tyler Herro added four points less. 

Los Angeles Lakers are 5t on the West Conference table with 32 wins and 19 losses. On the road, they have a 16-8 record. 

Los Angeles Lakers won two of the last three matches. In the previous game, they won 110-101 on the road against Toronto Raptors. Guests played spectacularly in the first half, so they had a massive 68-42 lead at halftime. In the second half, the Raptors were never close to getting back into the game. Talen Horton-Tucker was the best for the Lakers with 17 points and six assists, while Markieff Morris had 15 points and nine rebounds. 

Los Angeles Lakers are still without Davis and LeBron, so I expect them to lose this one against Miami Heat.
