The San Antonio Spurs travel to the Kaseya Center to take on the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. Here’s a Spurs vs Heat Prediction.
San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs have been in a real slump as they’ve lost 10 of their last 13 games overall and they will be hoping to put a halt to a four-game slide after getting routed by the Cavaliers in a 117-101 loss on Saturday. Devin Vassell led the team with 22 points, Victor Wembenyama added 19 points with 14 rebounds and two blocks while Keldon Johnson chipped in with 17 points off the bench. As a team, the Spurs shot just 36 percent from the field and 12 of 40 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Spurs from the start, pouring in 67 points in the first half to build a 26-point lead, allowing them to cruise the rest of the way with the margin remaining at double digits.
Miami Heat
Meanwhile, the Miami Heat are starting to turn things around as they’ve won three of their past four games and they will be eager to keep it going after making light work of the Magic in a 121-95 home win last night. Jimmy Butler led the team with 23 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, Terry Rozier added 18 points with seven assists while Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro each scored 14 points. As a team, the Heat shot 54 percent from the field and 13 of 36 from the 3-point line as they held the Magic to just 19 points in the first quarter to take the early lead, before they dominated the second half by 65-46 to come away with the much-needed blowout win at home. The Heat will take on the Celtics after this one.

The Heat were really struggling during their eight-game slide, but they’ve gotten healthy again and are now looking to stay hot after destroying the Magic in their last outing. In contrast, the Spurs have continued to struggle, they haven’t been able to build any momentum and they just got routed by the Cavaliers in their last outing.
