Game outlook
San Antonio is on the road playing Miami at the FTX Arena stadium on Saturday, 12/10/2022 @ 5:00pm EST. Miami -11.25 was the opening favorite and current line is Miami -11.75.
In a recent win over the Houston Rockets, the San Antonio Spurs ended an 11-game losing streak, but should continue to struggle when they travel to Miami tonight to play the Heat. Injuries still have the team in a bind, with Jakob Poeltl, Jeremy Sorchan and Keita Bates-Diop unavailable. In addition, Darius Vassell is questionable. The Spurs could face severe shortages against a Miami Heat team that is 9-5 at home. Several players are listed as day-to-day for the hosts, but that is more of a precaution since the players recently played.
During the last 10 games, the Spurs rank 30th in offensive ratings and 29th in defensive ratings. Given that the Heat have been a top ten defensive team during that period, the visitors might find it difficult to score tonight. The Miami Heat should benefit from the fact that Bam Adebayo won't face Poeltl here after scoring 31 points against the Clippers. If he can dominate on the inside tonight, it will free up the Miami Heat shooters. The Heat should be able to take advantage of the Spurs' 39.4% shooting percentage from 3-point range, the worst in the NBA.
San Antonio Betting
With a power ranking of 30, San Antonio is ranked #26 in offense (scoring an average of 109.50 per game), #30 in defense (allowing an average of 121.29 points to be scored against them per game) and are 7-18 (10-15 ATS) this season.
