Los Angeles Clippers vs Miami Heat prediction

I've been pounding the table for a while for these Los Angeles Clippers, the team I consider the best in the league and a squad I think can win the NBA title. I'm not excited to bet against the Clippers. With that said, the Heat are coming off a couple of nice wins, and they've shown over the years, these are the games they get up for. You don't have to worry about the Heat playing well against the contenders. It's the garbage teams where the Heat consistently don't care. I'll grab the points with the Heat in a game they could win outright at home.
