NBA Odds: Miami is Heating Up ATS
After enduring a rough stretch, the Miami Heat are starting to become a reliable bet and will look to cash yet another ticket on Sunday when they welcome the L.A. Clippers to town. The Heat have covered the spread in six of their last seven games affairs to improve to 26-24-1 ATS on the year.
Today's matchup will be especially interesting due to the talent at the center position for both clubs. DeAndre Jordan and Hassan Whiteside are two of the premier big men in the league, but it's Jordan who's been the more dominant force as of late. In Jordan's last six games, he's recorded at least 15 boards in each contest. Whiteside came off the bench in the Heat's last two tilts after missing six games due to an oblique injury but should be able to shoulder more of the load in this one.
If you're a totals bettor, it's about time you took notice of the Heat. The boys from South Beach are the best UNDER bet in the Association at 17-33 O/U. The total for the game opened at 195 at most shops.
