The Miami Heat play hosts to the New Orleans Pelicans in a NBA odds matchup in the Miami Airlines Arena at 7:35PM tonight. The Miami Heat are listed as the Vegas odds favorite in the NBA picks contest. Coming off a 102-97 victory over the Toronto Raptors the Heat failed to cover the -6 point spread posted by Vegas odds makers. In tonight's NBA picks contest the Vegas line has the Heat as the -9 point spreads favorite.
The Heat rallied late in the fourth period to outscore the Raptors in a what's becoming a common theme for the Heat. "We stayed with it mentally," stated the Heat's head coach Erik Spoelstra. "We were into the grind and staying the course and had to continue to make plays."
The New Orleans Pelicans' will be looking to avoid their second consecutive loss after traveling to Indiana. Failing to cover against the Pacers as a 12 point underdog, the Pelicans could potentially rebound to cover the spread versus the Heat with a 6-4 record after playing Indiana.
Leading the NBA picks contest after the first half of their matchup versus the Pacers, the Pelicans Alexis Ajinca scored a season-high 17 points, Anthony Davis 10 and Tyreke Evans added 12 more point for New Orleans.
The Miami Heat are a solid 13-2 straight up when playing New Orleans at home and have won their last 2 NBA picks contests.
Will the Heat cover the point spread listed by Vegas oddds makers in tonight's matchup against the Pelicans?
