Monday, December 10th brings you a game that might be more meaningful in the future, than it is right now, as the Miami Heat travel to the Staples Center in Los Angeles to take on the Lakers in what could be the final time LeBron James and Dwayne Wade share the court together.
Miami has won six out of the last 10 meetings against the Lakers, though the Lakers were winners down in Miami last month by a score of 113-97. Both teams were winners on Saturday as the Heat took care of the Clippers 121-98, and the Lakers beat Memphis 111-88.
Miami Heat
The Heat have started off this six game road trip perfect so far with wins at Phoenix, and against the Clippers, but things are about to get a lot tougher for this group starting Monday. After the Lakers game, they travel to Utah and Memphis before finishing up the trip in New Orleans on Sunday.

Miami has played fairly well on the road so far this season (6-5), and have won the past few road games they have played. But this Lakers team has already schooled them once this season, and the banged up Heat will have their hands full trying to keep up with this much better offensive Lakers squad.
Coming into this game the Heat are averaging 108.2 points per game, which is a pretty good stat, but when you look at the fact that they are giving up 108.5 points against per game, it all of a sudden doesn’t look too promising. They have scored over 115 points twice so far on this road trip though, and gave up only 98 each game, so maybe this trip will be their coming out party so to say.

Injury Report: SF Wayne Ellington is listed as “probable,” and SGs Tyler Johnson and Josh Richardson are both listed as “questionable.” C Hassan Whiteside has been ruled “out” for Monday night.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers sure have turned the tides from their awful start to the season. They now sit in 5th place, and climbing, in the Western Conference playoff picture. And after next week, when they are able to make the trade for Trevor Ariza, this team will really start to climb the table.
Coming into this game, the Lakers are winners of five out of their last six games overall, and have played extremely well at the Staples Center (10-4), winning their last four games at home. They should be able to get the win here again on Monday night, as they are on a bit of a roll right now and momentum is hard to sway away from LeBron James.

Offensively, the Lakers are averaging 113.3 points a game, but are giving up almost as much, at 111.1 points against per contest. At home the story is a bit different, but not much, the Lakers score 114.2 and give up 110.5 for a point swing in either direction.
Injury Report: SF Michael Beasley is listed as “out,” and SF Brandon Ingram is listed as “out indefinitely.”

Free Miami Heat vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
The Lakers whooped up on the Heat down in Miami less than a month ago, don’t think the Heat will forget about that one. It looks like PG Goran Dragic will be able to go for this game for Miami, which will make a huge difference for the Heat.
But they are still facing off against LeBron James in his house, which is always worth a few extra points on the spread line just because.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Miami +6
Take the Lakers to win this game at home, but take Miami to cover the spread, as I think it will be a lot closer matchup then when these two teams played each other last month. Take the UNDER in this game as well
