Miami Heat vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are favored because they're at home, but this is a weird spot. The Spurs played last night and are coming off an emotional win over the Bucks that ended with Antetokounmpo and Chris Paul having words. The Heat not only have the rest advantage, but they smoked the Spurs by 21 points a couple of weeks ago. The Heat shot 53 percent from the field and 55 percent from three. I wouldn't expect those shooting numbers to repeat here, but it's enough to consider grabbing the points here. Also, the Heat have won eight of the last nine games against the Spurs overall. The Spurs haven't won back-to-back games since December 31-January 3. Give me the Heat and the free bucket.
