Clippers-Heat Props & Prediction Today – Monday, December 1st
We’re kicking off December with a fascinating cross-conference clash in South Beach. The Miami Heat (13-7) are welcoming a Los Angeles Clippers squad (5-15) that—let’s just be honest here—is in absolute freefall right now.
Vegas has the Heat as 6.5-point favorites tonight with a total sitting at 234.5. On paper, this looks like a classic “get right” spot for Miami against a desperate West Coast team. But if you’ve been betting the NBA as long as I have, you know desperation can sometimes make things weird.

Clippers vs Heat Key Matchups & Storylines
The Perimeter Battle
This is the biggest mismatch on the board. Miami is shooting 37.3% from deep and has multiple guys (Herro, Powell) who can catch fire. The Clippers’ perimeter defense has been a turnstile lately. If Harden and an aging supporting cast have to chase Herro around screens for 35 minutes, their legs are going to be gone by the fourth quarter.
Bam vs. Zubac
Ivica Zubac has been a rebounding machine (16.2 PPG, 11.5 RPG), but Bam Adebayo (18.9 PPG, 8.5 RPG) is a different beast entirely. Bam’s ability to operate as a hub at the high post pulls Zubac away from the rim, which opens up driving lanes for everyone else. If Zubac gets into foul trouble trying to contain Bam’s mobility, the Clippers have zero rim protection behind him.
The “Revenge” Narrative
We saw it on November 3rd when the Heat won 120-119 in LA. NormanPowell loves playing his old team. He dropped 21 in that game and is coming off a 28-point outing against Detroit. Expect him to be aggressive early.

Kawhi Leonard Props Today – Higher Than 22.5 Points
Leonard has been an absolute machine since returning from an injury. Not only did he play in a back-to-back to start the weekend, but he also went crazy–posting 69 points across two contests in no more than 29 minutes in either game.
Kawhi has posted big-time usage rates, and I like him to score 23+ points on Monday.
Expert Pick: Kawhi Leonard Higher Than 22.5 Points
Good luck!
