The Los Angeles Clippers come in at 33-17 overall, which includes a 16-9 mark on the road. The Clipps have won their last 5 of their last 6 games and come in off 107-93 road win over Orlando. The Clippers are still without Blake Griffin (Out Til March), who leads the team in scoring with 23.2 ppg, but they still have Chris Paul, who is 2nd on the team in scoring at 18.8 ppg and they also have DeAndre Jordan, who is a beast on the boards pulling down 13.9 rpg (2nd in the league). He also scores 12 ppg and leads the league in FG% at 71.6%. This is an offensive minded team as they come in at 7th in the league in scoring, putting up 104.3 ppg, while hitting 46.3% of their shots, which is 4th in the league. On defense they have been solid as they rank 9th in points allowed, giving up just 103.3 ppg, while allowing teams to hit just 43.8% of their shots, which is 7th.
The Miami Heat come in at 29-22 on the year, including 16-9 at home. They have won 6 of their last 7 games and are currently just a half game behind Atlanta for the top spot in the South Division. Chris Bosh is healthy and playing well as he comes in leading the team with 19.1 ppg, while Hassan Whiteside has been the big stat sheet stuffer for the team as he scores 12.2 ppg on 61.6% shooting (2nd in the league). He also leads the league in blocks per game (4.0) and pulls down 11.1 rpg (3rd in the league). He is a big reason why the Heat come in ranked 2nd in the league in points allowed, giving up just 95.8 ppg, while allowing teams to connect on just 43.6% of their shots, which is 6th. On Offense they shoot the ball well, hitting 46% of their shots, which is 8th in the league, but they score just 96 ppg, which is 29th.

[858) LA Clippers/ Miami Under 195
Let’s go with the Under in this game. The Clippers come in playing some very solid defense right now as they have allowed just 93.2 ppg in their last six games, while the Miami Heat have been a strong defensive team all year as they have allowed just 95.8 ppg all year, including just 95.2 ppg at home. On offense the Clippers have been solid, but Miami will slow them down with their defense and with their grind it out style of offense. Miami home games have averaged just 194 ppg and the earlier meeting between these teams put up just 194 points. This one should be played in the 180s.
