Both teams have similar styles, focusing on solid defense and transition play. The Heat hold the home-court advantage, and while their offense is average, their strong defense stands out. Herro’s perimeter shooting and Adebayo’s inside presence provide significant threats. The Clippers heavily rely on Harden’s playmaking, and when he struggles or rests, the team lacks effective offensive coordination. This game is expected to be low-scoring.
