The Miami Heat are coming off a tough loss last night against the Lakers that included overtime. Not only will the Heat likely have tired legs, but there's also a good chance they'll be without Butler for this one after he injured his ankle. Rough spot for the Heat with a quick turnaround. The Los Angeles Clippers are also playing their best ball of the season, which includes winning their last five games by an average of 11.6 points. Give me the Clippers.
