GAME STORY
The Miami Heat (31-17) host the Los Angeles Clippers (25-25) tonight at the FTX Arena starting at 8:00pm.
Miami has won eight of their last 10 games and four home games in a row while Los Angeles has gone 6-4 as of late and are 10-13 on the road — though they’ve won two in a row on their road trip on back-to-back nights coming back from deficits. First was a historic victory that matched the NBA record for biggest comeback after rallying from 35 points down against the Washington Wizards. In their last game, they came back from 14 points in the second half to defeat the lowly Orlando Magic 111-102. Former Heat player Justise Winslow came off the bench to contribute seven points. eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes.
This is the second and final meeting between the two teams, with the Clippers winning 112-109 on Nov. 12. Paul George, who is out tonight, led his team with 27 points while Bam Adebayo led the Heat with 30 points. Kawhi Leonard is also out tonight, but the Clippers still remain a dangerous team due to their depth.
There are no changes to the Heat’s inactive list, with Kyle Lowry still away from the team for personal reasons.
ODDS: FiveThirtyEight gives the Heat a 77% chance to win the game.
