Prediction published on 13/01/2025, 05:01  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 13/01/2025 at 06:25 in NBA Predictions

The LA Clippers will welcome the Miami Heat next in the NBA, seeking to return to winning ways. Both teams sit in seventh place in their respective conferences. Read on for our prediction of this match.

The Clippers are struggling. In their last five outings, they have lost four times. A positive out of this, however, is that the losses have come on the road. At home, they have been in great shape. 

Ty Lue’s men have won 12 of their last 14 matches at their new arena. LA, who are on a two-game skid, were defeated by the Nuggets 126-103 last time out.

They have dropped to three games above .500. Kawhi Leonard is listed as questionable in the latest injury report.

The Heat are enjoying their six-game road trip out West and will be confident of adding another feather to their cap. They have won three of four games on this trip.

Erik Spoelstra’s men, who’ve held their last three opponents to under 100 points, are coming off a 119-98 victory in Portland. Their 20th win of the season moved them three games above .500.

The Heat, who’ve compiled the same record as the Clippers, have registered nine of their victories against Western opposition.
