New Orleans Pelicans vs Miami Heat Prediction: The absence of key players has a minimal impact on the Heat's game

Prediction for the NBA New Orleans Pelicans vs Miami Heat match which will take place on February 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Pelicans play against Miami. Yesterday, Willie Green's wards beat Houston 127:105 to extend their winning streak to four games. Three New Orleans players reached the 20-point plateau. C.J. McCollum had 26 points, Zion Williamson 25, and Jonas Valnciunas had 20 points and 14 rebounds. Pelicans continue to fight for the right to stay in the top-6 of the Western Conference.

The Heat haven't played after a break in the championship yet, but they went into the break on a great run - six wins in eight games. Some games were without Jimmy Butler, and Miami had no leader in Milwaukee (123:97) and Philadelphia (109:104).

In general, Erik Spoelstra's team is not pushing things as hard as it used to, and while they are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, they can reach the NBA Finals via the play-in round, as they did last season.

Tyler Herro is doubtful for Miami, and Terry Rozier is out, but as we know, even the absence of key players has a minimal impact on the Heat's game. It makes it all the more surprising that the odds of Miami winning this game are so high. New Orleans has had a poor run against Erik Spoelstra's side in recent years.
