Heat vs Pelicans

Miami's veteran core, featuring, Bam Adebayo, and the resurgent Terry Rozier, will look to capitalize against a Pels team scrambling to fill starting minutes with G-League-level depth. Historically, Herro has posted efficient offensive numbers against New Orleans, and with the Heat playing their final home game of the season, there's every reason to expect a locked-in performance. However, with Miami already eliminated from playoff contention and carrying a one-game losing streak, and with -800 odds offering little betting value, this pick receives a Grade C — it’s likely to hit but doesn’t offer a worthwhile payout for the risk.  Odds and availability are subject to change.

The South Beach squad isn’t much better off, having rested veterans like Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry in recent games, and struggling to generate tempo under a clunky offensive scheme centered around Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. Historically, Miami holds teams like the Pels below 105 points per matchup, and it's not hard to see that trend continuing. Neither team has playoff aspirations, making this a potential snoozer with limited minutes from veterans, low energy, and slowed possessions. With Vegas pinning the total at 215, the Under looks more appealing given both teams averaging under 107 points over their last five games. This pick earns a Grade B — reasonable probability of hitting, but limited value given both teams’ erratic form. Odds and availability are subject to change. This bet was made at 11/04/2025 06:41  

The Pels, despite their dismal 21-58 record, have seen recent energy from rookie sharpshooter Jordan Hawkins and hustle forward Herbert Jones, both of whom have stepped up in the absence of Zion Williamson. Historically, New Orleans has covered decent spreads late in the season at home, even in meaningless games. With Miami distracted by the faint possibility of a play-in berth and not necessarily needing a blowout, expect a closer contest than the line suggests. Given the Pels’ poor form but the large spread, this bet comes with decent value but medium risk—thus earning a B- grade. Odds and availability are subject to change.
