The San Antonio Spurs open their eight-game road trip on Tuesday against a team they’ve historically dominated — the Miami Heat. Tim Duncan and company are a phenomenal 5-0 SU and ATS in their last five against the Heat.
- The Spurs are 9-1 SU in their last 10 games against the Eastern conference.
- The Heat are 2-5 SU and ATS in their last seven games with one day off between games.
- The total has gone OVER in five of the Spurs' last six games on the road.
The Spurs haven’t lost at home yet this season (28-0 SU) but have gone a solid 15-8 on the road. San Antonio ranks in second in the Western Conference and has garnered victories in 18 of their last 20 games, including a surprising 106-102 nail biter to the lowly Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday.
Miami continues to be a fantastic play for UNDER bettors due to its penchant for participating in a lot of low-scoring games. The OVER/UNDER has gone 17-34 so far for the Heat, while also cashing in four of their previous five tilts heading into this one.
One player to watch out for is red-hot Heat forward Luol Deng. Deng has taken the pressure off his squad's big guns as of late, as the 30-year-old has eclipsed the 15 point mark in five of Miami's last six contests.
*Update - Tim Duncan (knee) has been listed as innactive for tonight's game
