Los Angeles Clippers at Miami Heat Pick
The most recent result in this game is one that favors the Clippers by extraordinary proportions. We mentioned the late rally that the Clippers nearly pulled off in the Staples Center. Though Lob City came up short, you can rest assured they were licking their chops to meet this Miami team again. On the contrary, the Heat might be a bit shook given the good fortune that was required for them to get of the City of Angels alive.
There is little doubt that the loss of former point man Chris Paul has significantly affected this outfit. In addition, yet another injury to star forward Blake Griffin has changed the dynamics of the campaign as well. Unfortunately for Los Angeles, the Clippers have been bitten by the injury bug across the board as they have also been without the services of point man Patrick Beverley and shooter Danilo Gallinari. Nevertheless, the heavy public hankering to spot the points would suggest that the Heat look too easy here and generally when this is the case, the figure is most certainly a trap. Take the points.

Take Los Angeles Clippers +6
