Miami Heat vs Los Angeles Lakers NBA Pick & Prediction 1/3/24

While Heat vs Lakers is a game that will always generate interest among NBA fans, we might not be in for the most interesting game on the floor on Wednesday night. This contest should go under its 228-point total at crypto.com Arena, with injuries and other absences being a huge reason why. The Heat will once again be without Jimmy Butler, along with some other key contributors like Caleb Martin. Meanwhile, the Lakers are without at least a couple of key rotation players in Rui Hachimura and D’Angelo Russell, while illness could keep LeBron James out of this matchup. All of that points to a low-scoring game in Los Angeles.
