Miami Heat (19-15) versus New Orleans Pelicans (8-27) is an inter-conference matchup on Sunday night at Kaseya Center. The Heat will be shooting to improve their seventh position and the .559 win percentage in the Eastern Conference. They have been in great form lately, riding on a four-game winning streak, with the latest win coming on the road against the Pistons. The Heat can make it five straight wins when they host the Timberwolves before playing the Pelicans.
New Orleans Pelicans, on the other hand, have continued to struggle this season in the Western Conference. They sit at the bottom of the conference standings with a .229 win percentage and 21.5 games behind the Thunder. Even worse, the Pelicans are on a five-game slide despite winning five of their last 10 matches. They desperately need a win to restore confidence in the team.

Miami Heat are the heavy favorites here as they look to continue with their impressive form this season. Besides defeating their last four opponents, they have also covered the spread, which shows their dominance. They can extend this record on Sunday, considering the Pelicans are 1-4 ATS in the last five games. In addition, the Heat have been dominant in attack this season, scoring an average of 121 PPG, which is fourth in the standings. We expect them to use their attacking prowess to dominate this game and limit the Pelicans’ chances.
