The Heat are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Lakers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. The under is 5-1 in Heat last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. The over is 6-2 in Lakers last 8 overall. The Heat are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
The Miami Heat are playing their best ball of the season as Bam and Herro have hit another level in their game and are being far more aggressive. Victor Oladipo is also showing us things lately, and all of a sudden this Heat team doesn't look lost in the water anymore. The Los Angeles Lakers are still dealing with injuries and subpar play and even LeBron still playing at a high level, he can only do so much night in and night out to carry this subpar roster. The Heat are starting to roll. I'll lay the reasonable number.
