Clippers vs Heat NBA Preview, Predictions
This NBA system identifies teams that have struggled against the spread but are poised for short term correction after another poor showing, which appears to be the case for the Clippers entering tonight's matchup against the Heat.
When a team has been consistently failing to cover and comes off another game where they fell short of expectations, the betting market tends to overadjust, shading lines too heavily against them.
This creates value for disciplined bettors who recognize that spreads often move more on perception than true performance.
Teams in this range are typically being underestimated, especially as the season progresses beyond the early adjustment phase.
In these spots, motivation to respond is high, public sentiment is low, and pricing inefficiencies emerge that favor the side of teams the market has temporarily abandoned.
So, let's take the points with the Clippers tonight.
