Despite the loss of Chris Bosh, the Heat have won three of four coming out of the break beating up on muffins like the Knicks, 76ers and Magic. Most telling was the loss which was a 105-91 decision to these same Pelicans in South Beach (-2.5, 194) just six nights ago. This would have been a break out year for New Orleans if not for injuries to phenom Anthony Davis and the very underrated Jru Holiday (15.2, 3.7, 7.1) who is out indefinitely with an ankle problem. Still, the Pelicans have players Tyreke Evans (16.6, 5.4, 6.3) , Ryan Anderson and Omer Asik (7.4/9.8) have carried the load and still have an outside shot of running down the Thunder and the slumping Spurs and Mavs. The Pelicans have won three straight (8-2 L10 as a home dog) and dominated Saturday’s game by getting to the line at will and then knocking down 27-31 free throws. Miami is just 1-7 ATS vs. the Southwest Division this year and that doesn’t figure to improve here. Take New Orleans.
