LiontipsNew Orleans Pelicans - Miami Heat: betting tip and bets on the NBA match
Command Analysis
Current form
The Pelicans finish the main tournament in the penultimate place. The team has not been able to prove itself properly this season and find its game.
New Orleans decided to rebuild by trading one of the key players, Brandon Ingram, to Toronto. CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson remained, but their frequent injuries only brought difficulties to the team. Willie Green's men have lost four matches in a row, unsuccessfully playing against the Clippers (98:114), Lakers (108:124), Milwaukee (107:111) and Brooklyn (114:119). There is a home match against Miami ahead, but it is noticeable from the game of the hosts that they are not particularly determined to fight.
Disqualifications and injuries
Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy, C. J. McCollum, Dejante Murray and Zion Williamson will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Pelicans have lost all of their last five games.
The approximate line-up: Robinson - Brooks, Matkovich - Payton, Reeves.
Current form
The Heat have reached the play-in, which means that the main fight is still ahead. However, Jimmy Butler's departure to Golden State had a negative impact on the team's game, as the attack began to limp.
Miami ended up in tenth place in the Eastern Conference, and it is unlikely that Eric Spoelstra's wards were ready for such a development. In the last meeting, the Lights lost to their neighbor in the standings, Chicago (111:119). No matter how hard Tyler Hirro tried, his 30 points didn't help. The club needs to save its strength for the play-in, because the main tournament is coming to an end. There's an away game against New Orleans ahead.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pelle Larsson and Drew Smith will not play on the floor due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
In 4 of the last 5 face-to-face matches, the Heat celebrated the victory.

1.73Tip and bets
Four defeats in a row speak to New Orleans' current form. The team is going through hard times, but it will all be over soon, and it will be possible to carry out a major restructuring. The Pelicans will try to please the fans at home, so to speak, to slam the door at the last.
Miami is performing better than its opponent, but its level doesn't look too stable either. The team is preparing for the play-in, so the main fight is still ahead. In our opinion, the guests will save their strength, which the hosts will take advantage of.
Our prediction is that New Orleans will win with a handicap of (+14) points in 1.78
Bet on the total
New Orleans often relies on attacking, even when the results are not encouraging. Miami, on the contrary, adheres to a more closed basketball, plus it needs to save key players. In our opinion, we will not see high performance in this confrontation, so the overall total will not be broken.
Betting Tip - total less than 217 points in 1.73
Betting on statistics
Most likely, Heath won't force things and will play carefully. Miami is already thinking about the play-in, not the main tournament, so it is unlikely to show its best side under the opponent's ring.
Prediction – Miami's individual total is less than 115 points in 1.78
