The Heat love beating up on that overrated team and Wade also owns Kobe head-to-head. So they may be keeping wade out of this one tonight to embarrass kobe on thursday. Heat were 2-0 vs Fakers last year and are something like 13-6 ATS in their last 19 matchups (and the Heat have a winning record SU in the last 19)
I liked this Spurs game a lot a couple of days ago but am a little more reserved knowing Wade is out (i dont care about their record without Wade in the lineup as they were going to pummel the spurs if the Heat were totally healthy) , and LeBron battling a cold (though lebron did play fantastic basketball last year with flu like symptoms).
ps- LeBron also owns the Lakers going something like 10-2 in his last 12 games vs the Fakers. Wade and LeBron love making that team look like the bunch of chumps that they are so the Heat may be looking forward through the spurs game to do it yet again thursday on national TV
