The Miami star is injured and could lose the game against New Orleans. The Pelicans after a big win at the start of the season and with a new feeling. Miami has hardly rested in the summer, and with an unpleasant loss in the opening

Winner’s recommendation for game number 162 in the form between the Miami Heat and the New Orleans Pelicans, with a 4-point advantage, in the NBA. The game can be single bet.
Miami, which reached the NBA Finals last season (which ended just recently), will reach the game after a loss in the opening game of the season to Orlando. The Heat looked scattered, apparently losing a lot of balls and missing their star, Jimmy Butler, who is suffering from an injury.
New Orleans has a sense of something new, with Stan Van Gandhi on the lines, and with a young and hungry team wanting to reach the playoffs. The Pelicans opened the season with a very impressive win over Toronto, including a great third quarter led by Brandon Ingram.
Miami has rested very little in the summer, and the start of its season is likely to be particularly difficult. She does not have a very deep roster, and Butler is injured, so even if he plays he will be under a minute limit. New Orleans with the plus looks like a great bet.
Our bet is on New Orleans +4.
