NBA Predictions
In Los Angeles we are back to play and, for the Clippers, it is time to wake up from the definitely not positive sequence of results that caused the team to fall in the standings. Only one win in the last five came against Atlanta and the losses came against Western Conference opponents. If this is the false trend, then for Leonard and his teammates, facing Miami will be good news even if the Heat travel in the West that gives them their best or close to their best.
After the loss, which also came in overtime against the Sacramento Kings, the Heat made three consecutive victories that allowed them to climb to sixth place and, on a mental level, to show themselves and others that, however. without Jimmy Butler, they’ll do just fine. The home loss against Utah on January 5 (100-136) that seemed to open a crack has been forgotten (also because the Jazz themselves just lost in Salt Lake City) but now comes another difficult period .
The Clippers need to shake things up and have the entire roster available. Even considering the wait for this return of the two balls, we can expect a strong-willed and determined team but there are no reasons why Miami can’t be either. The prediction of the bookmakers still remains in their house but it is certain that the Clippers are the first and foremost to know that this will not be an easy match.
