The Miami Heat (9-10) welcome the Los Angeles Lakers (12-8) to the Kaseya Center on Wednesday, where they’ve dominated the Lakers in recent history, winning the last four matchups on their home court. The Lakers are coming off a rough 108-80 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, adding to concerns about their current form. LeBron James had a tough night offensively, scoring a season-low 10 points and extending his drought from beyond the arc to 19 consecutive misses. The Lakers as a team struggled mightily, shooting just 40.5% from the field and a dismal 19.4% from three-point range. Defensively, the Lakers haven’t been able to compensate for their shooting struggles, ranking 24th in Defensive Efficiency. This lackluster defense was exposed by the Timberwolves, who shot an efficient 50.6% from the field and 42.9% from deep. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat also faltered on Monday, falling to the Boston Celtics 108-89. Playing on the second night of a back-to-back without Jimmy Butler, Miami’s offense sputtered. Butler, who missed the game due to rest, is listed as questionable for Wednesday, but signs point to his potential return. The Heat have now dropped two straight games and are 5-5 in their last 10 outings. Over that span, they’ve averaged 111 points on 43% shooting. However, Miami's defense remains a strong point, allowing the 8th fewest points in the league and holding opponents to just 46.4% shooting. Against a Lakers team struggling with shooting consistency and defensive lapses, Miami’s stout defense and a likely return of Butler give them the edge. Take Miami ATS
