The Clippers are (7-3) in their last 10 games whereas the Heat are (5-5). Miami is an excellent defensive team ranking 2nd in fewest points allowed. The Heat struggle to share the ball and spread the floor on offense. The Clippers are one of the few teams that rank as a top 10 team in points scored and fewest points allowed. They are also one the best teams in regards to fewest turnovers. Even without star forward Blake Griffin, I like the Clippers to win this one on the road.
