Premium Pick

Miami is having its best stretch of the season, winning and covering four of its last five games, including two blowout wins against Phoenix and the Los Angeles Clippers on the road. The Heat outscored the Clippers 30-8 in the fourth quarter and held them to a .371 shooting percentage for the game. Dwyane Wade led Miami with 25 points, and Kelly Olynyk finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds while six players in all scored in double figures. Also, the Heat was embarrassed in the first meeting, losing 113-97 at home, when they weren't playing nearly as well as they are now. The Lakers are playing their third game in four days, and the first two were on the road as they lost at San Antonio before beating Memphis. The Lakers have gone UNDER nine of their last 11 games, and the first meeting with the Heat stayed UNDER by 15 points. Also, seven of the last eight meetings at Staples Center have gone UNDER. Miami has covered four road games in a row, and the Lakers are 2-9 ATS their last 11 games versus the Eastern Conference. Take the Heat and the UNDER.
