Clippers vs Heat Prediction 11/4/26 NBA Picks Today

The Heat are keeping an eye on Myron Gardner, who is questionable with a quad injury, while the Clippers have ruled out Jordan Miller, Bradley Beal, and Brandon Ingram once again. The Heat looked like they were able to turn things around after they earned two wins in a row, but their momentum got squashed by the Lakers on Monday.

The Clippers have been ice-cold so far this season and things went from bad to worse on Monday when they blew a 16-point lead to the Raptors in another ugly defeat on Monday. You couldn’t back either side with any confidence, but there were a lot of positives for the Clippers to take from their last game, and I think they represent decent value as the home underdog if they play as they did on Monday. Give me the Clippers to pull off the upset at home in this spot.

The Miami Heat have yet to get going this season as they’ve lost five of their first seven games, and they were starting to heat up with two wins in a row before they got smashed by the Lakers in a 138-117 road defeat on Monday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 30 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists on 10-of-17 shooting; Klay Thompson added 19 points on seven-of-11 shooting, while Bam Adebayo tallied 16 points with nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks.

As a team, the Heat shot 51 percent from the field and 16 of 41 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 42 points in the second quarter to stay within striking distance of the Lakers, but they couldn’t maintain that pace and scored just 21 points in the third quarter to get blown out in the end.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers have been in a world of hurt as they are now on a six-game losing streak after falling painfully short to the Raptors in a 125-118 home defeat on Monday. Kobe Sanders led the team with 26 points on eight of 17 shooting, Isaiah Jackson added 19 points on nine of 11 shooting off the bench, while Darius Garland chipped in with 16 points and eight assists.

As a team, the Clippers shot 46 percent from the field and 13 of 35 from the 3-point line as they poured in 33 points in the first quarter to jump out to an early 16-point lead, which kept them in front all the way until the fourth quarter, when they leaked a season-high 47 points to get run down in the end.
