Miami Heat: news and form
Despite numerous injuries this season, the Heat have been one of the great franchises of late. After a painful loss to the league-leading Phoenix Suns, the Heat bounced back with a big win over the emerging Cleveland Cavaliers. When Lowry, Adebayo, Butler, Tucker and Robinson are together, the team is truly impressive. Removing young Herro and Oladipo from the bench, the Heat’s offensive qualities don’t fluctuate much throughout the duration of a game. The Heat are the big favorites for this meeting because of their superiority on paper.
Heat: players to follow
The versatility of Bam Adebayo, comparable to that of Jokic, made him a major asset for Miami. Against the Cavaliers, the great pivot had an exceptional game by scoring 30 points and taking 17 rebounds. Their tough defense makes the Miami Heat a tough team to beat.
Los Angeles Clippers: news and form
Karl-Anthony Towns, Edwards and Russell have taken the Minnesota Timberwolves to new heights and look like a potential playoff contender at the end of the season. They’re trying to catch the Nuggets for the coveted 6th spot in the West standings. Prior to their embarrassing loss to the Magic, they had won six straight games and in their last 15 games they have won 10. Their prolific offense will be put to the test once morest the Miami Heat defense. Towns’ duel once morest the Heat pivot will be a crucial aspect of this game. The Timberwolf has always had the upper hand over Adebayo, but the latter has outclassed him recently.
Clippers: players to follow
Although Minnesota was defeated by Orlando’s modest Magic, Karl-Anthony Towns had a great game. The pivot achieved his 32ᵉ double-double of the season and had 21 points and 13 rebounds. As mentioned earlier, his involvement in this game will be a deciding aspect of the outcome. If he manages to deal with Adebayo’s attacks, the Timberwolves have a good chance of winning.
