The Flames have failed in attack again. In general, this season Spoelstra charges are in no hurry to run forward and very often use such tactics. Especially since they are playing without Butler, and this is a significant loss for the team.
There is no doubt that the visitors will play in a similar style in Los Angeles. Only in this case will they have some chances to achieve the desired result. Considering this, we suggest betting on a low outcome of the match.
Our prediction is total under 219.5 points at 1.76
