I find this spread too short. 

The Heat will be up for this matchup with the return of LeBron James to Miami. The Heat also are off a Friday road loss to the Hawks.

Miami has been much better at home. The Heat have won nine of their last 10 home games. They have Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, their two best players, healthy again.

The Lakers are playing for the fourth time in seven days. Anthony Davis remains out. 

LA defeated the pathetic Magic in its last game two days ago to open its road trip. Prior to that, though, the Lakers lost at home to the Pacers. Before beating the Magic, the Lakers had lost their last two road games by a combined 46 points to the Nuggets and Kings.
