According to our NBA betting trends, the Heat are a sparkling 10-1 SU and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games against New Orleans. Eric Spoelstra’s team is also 5-0 ATS in their last five road contests, and 5-0 ATS in their last five trips to the Big Easy.
Look for the Heat to control this contest, as they are fourth in both assist to turnover rate, and turnover percentage this season. Miami won’t give New Orleans anything easy in this contest, and we can’t say the same about the young Pelicans, who are 28th in effective field goal percentage, and 27th in defensive rating this season.
