Miami Heat vs Los Angeles Lakers Betting Preview
On January 3, 2024, the Miami Heat (20-18) will clash with the Los Angeles Lakers (20-17) in a highly anticipated matchup at Crypto.com Arena, set to tip off at 10:00 PM ET. This game presents an intriguing dynamic, as the Heat face a significant travel disadvantage, making their journey cross-country and across two time zones. Such a lengthy road trip could impact Miami's performance against a Lakers squad that is favored at home.
As it stands, the Lakers are currently 5-point favorites, with a Moneyline of -205, suggesting a 65% implied probability of victory. In contrast, the Heat's Moneyline sits at +175, giving them a 35% chance to win. Despite their recent struggles, having lost to the San Antonio Spurs 126-102 in their last outing, the Lakers are expected to take advantage of their home court.
Interestingly, the Heat have shown resilience, winning 17 of their last 30 games. However, their last performance against the LA Clippers resulted in a 109-98 defeat, casting doubt on their momentum heading into this matchup.
For those looking to place wagers on player props, Austin Reaves's Points and Rebounds have emerged as the most popular betting market. The prop total for Reaves opened at Over 22.5 Points and Rebounds (-115) but has since moved to 23.5 (-110), indicating a shift in sharp bettors' confidence toward the Over.
