Play Heat vs Clippers

Game Time: 1/3/2007 1:30:00 PM
By: Marc Lawrence


Play the Miami Heat at home against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Heat return home to South Beach coming off a 29-point shellacking in their last game and knowing they are 8-2 against the spread in this series when playing off a double-digit loss.

Miami is also 6-0 straight up and 4-2 against the spread when the Clippers are unrested. Look for the Heat to improve on those numbers this evening against a Los Angeles team that has struggled mightily on the road this season.

Rested or unrested, I like Clippers in this spot minus the small number.

I am with dan on this one and like the Clippers tonight.

What does the term "unrested" mean? Does it specifically correlate to a team that has played a game the night before and/or long road trip?

[bigboydan]

Basically yes primo.

I see this line shot up to 5 to 5.5 at a lot of books now.
