1.88Tip and bets
Miami beat New Orleans and won their first victory in the October friendly matches. According to bookmakers, the Heat are the clear favorites for the upcoming game. And that true. The Spurs have a hard time competing on equal terms with their opponents even without one leader. And if several leading players don't appear on the court, there no point in expecting success. The team from Florida must win.
Our prediction is a Miami victory with overtime at 1.69
Bet on individual total
Miami will have to field a lineup close to its main roster. However, even with all the leaders in the lineup, the Heat are not showing the most outstanding performance. The average point average for the 2023/24 regular season is 110.6 (26th place in the league). And this time, the basketball players from the Sunshine State will not be able to load the opponent basket decently.
Our prediction is Miami individual total under 107.5 points including overtime for 1.76
Bet on the first half
Miami basketball players are in a good mood after the victory over New Orleans. The Heat, no doubt, will try to achieve success in the match with San Antonio. The players of the team from Florida will show who is the main one on the court of the Kaseya Center stadium from the first minutes of the match and will seize the initiative.
Our prediction is a Miami win in the first half of the game at 1.78
