New Orleans Pelicans vs Miami Heat Prediction

New Orleans Pelicans vs Miami Heat Prediction comes ahead of the NBA on Friday, 05.03.2021, at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Let’s take a look at the match preview as we try to provide the game-winner, Asian handicap, and over/under margins – best betting tips for this tie.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Miami Heat Preview

The New Orleans Pelicans have shown signs of improvement in their game lately, as the team has won 3 of the previous 5 games, and they are coming from an important victory over the Utah Jazz at home 129-124. The New Orleans Pelicans have good results at home this season and a record of 10-7, and they come from three tied home wins. The Pelicans will not have problems with injuries, so their strongest team is expected, and we know that they have powerful players in every position.

The Miami Heat, on the other hand, comes from a home defeat by the Atlanta Hawks, 80-94, and with that defeat, they ended a great series of six tied wins. The Miami Heat are playing solidly this season, and they are currently in 7^th place in the East with 17 wins and 18 losses, but they are considered weak passengers so far because they have a negative record of 7-10 this season. Bradley and Leonard will still be off the field, while their best player Butler is suspicious.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Miami Heat Betting Tips

The two teams have already played their first meeting of the season, and that match ended with a Miami Heat victory at home, 111-98. However, now I expect the New Orleans Pelicans to be dominant in every position, and if Jimmy Butler does not play on Friday, that is an even bigger reason to bet on the hosts' victory.
