New Orleans Pelicans vs Miami Heat Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Stephen Abiola | in NBA Picks

Miami Heat (15-13) will host New Orleans Pelicans (5-27) in a non-conference action at the Kaseya Center on Wednesday night. The Heat would be happy to finally play on their hardwood after playing on the road in the last three matches. They picked up a vital 1-point victory over Orlando Magic on Friday night after Tyler Herro’s 16-foot jumper bagged the win with only 0.5 seconds left. They’ll now play the Hawks and the Rockets before hosting the struggling Pelicans, who have not tasted victory in the last nine matches. The Pelicans have been a pain to watch this season, with reports indicating they may cut ties with injury-prone Zion Williamson. They may also let Brandon Ingram leave as they look to inject new blood into the squad.
