Advice and prediction
You may want to wait until Leonard’s status is confirmed to bet either way on this game, but this feels like an especially good spot for the Heat to cover.
The Clippers have a two-game home series against the NBA-leading Jazz later this week and could already be looking ahead, and are playing the second night of a back-to-back. The Heat, meanwhile, have started to turn their season around since the return of Jimmy Butler to the lineup, and have won four of their last five games. These teams have already met once this season, with the Clippers winning 109-105 in Miami in a game where both rosters were severely depleted due to injuries and health protocols.
If Leonard does play, this spread should only widen, so the best play could be to wait up until tipoff to bet the Heat to cover.
Prediction: Heat 111, Clippers 108
