Miami Heat vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
Wednesday night in the NBA sees a rematch of the 2020 NBA Finals as the Miami Heat host the Los Angeles Lakers. The Heat come into this contest sitting seventh in the Eastern Conference with a 9-10 record while the Lakers are eighth in the West at 12-9. Let’s get into the match prediction!
It’s been a stop-start campaign for the 2023 Eastern Conference champion Heat with almost a fourth of the regular season in the books. Miami had previously won four of five games before a recent two-game losing streak has seen them slip to a game below .500.
The Heat lost by three on the road to the Raptors before being a comprehensive 108-89 defeat at the hands of the Celtics on Monday. They’ll hope a return to the Keyesa Center will see them get back to winning ways.
The Lakers head to the East Coast in a rough patch of form. They’re coming off of their lowest points total of the season following a 109-80 loss to the Timberwolves on Monday.
Los Angeles turned the ball over 20 times and shot just 6/31 from three-point range to suffer their fifth loss in the last seven outings. The defeat pushed the Lakers’ road record to 5-6 as they prepare for the third game of a four-game road trip.

Our Miami Heat vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
Neither of these two teams are scoring the ball particularly well at the moment and each failed to crack 90 points in their last outing. With both teams also coming off a defeat, we're expecting an increased level of urgency on the defensive end as they each look to scrape their way back into the win column.
It also helps that there is some history between these two teams as they contested the NBA Finals a few seasons ago, meaning we should be in for a intense battle. Our Miami Heat vs LA Lakers prediction: under 217.5 points.
