Miami is 4-0 against the spread in their last four meetings with the Lakers and the underdog has also covered in the last 4 games in this series. The Heat have yet to win a big game on the road this season, but my pick is with them to at least get within 3 as this game will be important for them on a national showcase against the defending champs.
