Miami Heat vs San Antonio Spurs: Current situation
After a rather unsuccessful 6-game West coast road trip where the Heat went only 3-3 SU, they returned home on Friday with a familiar face back in the line-up. Jimmy Butler’s 7-game suspension came to an end as he logged 33 minutes in the 20-point home loss to Denver. The two parties appear to have gotten over their disagreements and now Butler has to prove himself to potential suitors. How will the rest of the team react to him being back in the starting line-up remains to be seen.
The Spurs are among the teams mentioned as potential Butler suitors in a possible trade, they could definitely use him to end this poor run of just 1 win over their last 6 games. As a result the Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings and Minnesota Timberwolves have all leapfrogged San Antonio in the standings, right now Gregg Popovich’s men rank 12th at the half-way point of the season.
Miami Heat Stats & Form
Miami couldn’t do much on defense to stop Nikola Jokic as he torched them for 24 points, 10 assists and 12 rebounds on Thursday. The defensive effort was questionable at time as Denver finished the game with 35 assists, the approach will have to change on Sunday against San Antonio. Jimmy Butler had a decent 18 points in his return, but as a unit the Heat shot just 9-for-33 from three-point land which was one of the main reasons why they lost that game.
San Antonio Spurs Stats & Form
San Antonio is also coming off a loss after dropping back-to-back home games against Western Conference rivals Memphis. It was very unusual to see Victor Wembanyama struggling in both of those games scoring just 19 and 13 points on below 50% efficiency from the field. With just 1 win in 5 games against Eastern Conference teams, Spurs fans aren’t hoping for much as their team heads to Florida for a date with the Heat.
Miami Heat vs San Antonio Spurs: Head-to-Head
Miami has dominated this match-up for the past few seasons, winning 8 of the last 10 meetings. This run has trimmed the Spurs lead in the all-time regular season win total – San Antonio has 45 wins in 73 regular season meetings all-time. It hasn’t been a pleasant experience playing in South Beach for the Spurs, they’ve won just once in their last 5 visits.
Miami Heat – San Antonio Spurs Odds
Going for Jimmy Butler and Miami to win here gets you odds of 4/7. If you fancy San Antonio to turn things around, then odds of 13/8 are available.
The point total has been set at 223.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Miami Heat vs San Antonio Spurs (19.01.2025)
The atmosphere around the Miami Heat just isn’t good right now. They just allowed 133 points in Friday’s loss to Denver, showing no effort whatsoever on the defensive end. Bringing back Jimmy Butler has made things awkward between him and his teammates. Although he had a somewhat decent stat line in that game, his main assignment on defense Jamal Murray went for 30 points. San Antonio isn’t in the best shape right now either, so this is the perfect game for them to claw their back following a run of just 1 win in 6 games. We’re looking specifically at Victor Wembaynama who has delivered solid double-doubles in both meetings with Miami in his rookie season. The Heat aren’t exactly elite when it comes to defending the basket, they allow the 22nd highest amount of points per game from the paint at 48.6. in their last 3 games that number has gone way up to 59.3 per game, so expect Wemby to go at the Heat defense here. Despite the losing streak, San Antonio has done a solid job against the spread lately, covering in 6 of their last 8 road games. We expect them to bounce back following those two losses against Memphis and get a result here on the road in Miami.
