LiontipsSan-Antonio vs Miami. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Spurs are scrambling for every chance and this proves to be tough for them, because club is not good enough to compete. Gregg Popovich was asking for new players and it looks like the board listened to him: they want to sign Lauri Markkanen after this season.
San-Antonio had a great game against Phoenix (111:85) and defeat Indiana (109:94) in their last matchup. Team is still holding on to tenth place on Western conference, but New Orleans is catching up.
No doubt, Spurs will fight to the end. It's important not to lose right now.
Heat are in slightly better position: they are seventh in Eastern conference. They should not be underestimated and the previous season is a perfect example.
Miami won two games, which helped them to regain confidence. They defeat title contender Brooklyn (109:107) and Houston (113:91). Eric Spoelstra's side is capable of going on and their supporteps are waiting for streak to be extended.
In an upcoming game Heat will have to play without Victor Oladipo, also Jimmy Butler's and Edris Adebayo's participance is under question. Without them guests may struggle.

Tip and bets
Miami is playing better in head-to-head games, but without their key players they won't be able to put up a fight even against San-Antonio. With no doubt, Gregg Popovich will make everything he can for his team to keep their streak alive. We expect the hosts to succeed at home.
Our prediction - San Antonio to win (with OT).
Spurs know about Miami's weakened squad, but still Heat shouldn't be underestimated, so DeMar DeRozan and co. will put up a defensive game plan, so you can place a bet on total under.
Second wager is on total under 218.5 points.
