Current Records: Miami 7-4; Los Angeles 6-4
What to Know
The Los Angeles Clippers are 9-3 against the Miami Heat since January of 2016, and they’ll have a chance to extend that success Thursday. The Clippers will stay at home another game and welcome Miami at 10:30 p.m. ET Nov. 11 at Staples Center. Los Angeles is out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.
Los Angeles beat the Portland Trail Blazers 117-109 on Tuesday. Los Angeles’ power forward Nicolas Batum was one of the most active players for the squad, shooting 6-for-8 from beyond the arc and finishing with 22 points and six rebounds.
Meanwhile, Miami fought the good fight in their overtime game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 120-117. Miami’s loss came about despite a quality game from center Bam Adebayo, who posted a double-double on 28 points and ten boards along with six steals.
Barring any buzzer beaters, the Clippers are expected to win a tight contest. They are currently four-for-four against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
Los Angeles is now 6-4 while the Heat sit at 7-4. A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Los Angeles have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 42.60%, which places them fourth in the league. But Miami is even better: they have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 42.40%, which places them third in the league. We’ll see if that edge gives Miami a route to victory.
