Clippers @ Heat NBA betting predictions

The Clippers will likely be down two starters in this game. While Leonard will be back on the court, it will not be enough. Miami are hot and have been sizzling at home all season. This non-conference game will be pretty close, but the Heat will win and cover for their 10th straight home win.
