The Miami Heat are quietly playing their best ball of the season, and they've been competitive on the road all year where they only lose by an average of 1.7 points. The Los Angeles Clippers are as healthy as they've been all season, and they're the better team on paper, but they've also been inconsistent, and it's hard to trust them with chalk most nights. Assuming Butler and others play, the Heat can hang. I'll take my chances with the road dog.
