Preview

The Miami Heat will wrap their two-game set at Staples Center up tonight when they face the Los Angeles Clippers.

Miami Heat

The Miami Heat enter this one on the heels of an emotional loss and a nailbiting one. After Monday night' fiasco in Denver, the Heat would take another tough loss, this time in overtime to the Lakers.

Miami is the type of team to respond and the type of team that can give the Clippers trouble. Jimmy Butler is averaging career-highs in scoring (25.3) and field goal percentage (53%), bu

Bam Adebayo anchors this team in the middle, and he'll be leaned tonite after a 28-point outing last night. Miami will also need more from Sixth Man of the Year candidate Tyler Herro.

The additions of Kyle Lowry and P.J. Tucker have only made this Heat roster smarter and more rugged. Lowry posted the sixth triple-double of his career against Utah, while Tucker had a cray putback dunk last night.

Los Angeles Clippers

The Clippers are coming off of a nice win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Paul George is doing all he can to keep the Clips afloat and he engineered them to a victory Tuesday nitr. After an admirable effort last postseason, the eleventh-year guard will be looked upon nightly for production and leadership. Geore is averaging 27.6 ppg, 7.8 rpg, and 3.6 apg.

Beyond the PG, the production dips off a bit. Reggie Jackson hasn't been able to recreate his postseason magic, and he's struggled thus far, shooting below 325 percent. He's second on the team in scoring with 13.6 ppg.

Prediction

Getting behind the Heat without Jimmy Butler is tough to do, but the way they rallied for four periods yesterday was inspiring. It'd take another superstar performance for Paul George to pull this off, and with P.J. Tucker likely to handle the assignment, it may just be a long night for him. We like the Miami supporting cast a lot more than the Clippers', so we'll take the late night underdog shot here again. 

PICK: Miami Heat ML (+116)
