The Miami Heat have dropped four straight games, and they’ll look to get back on track Monday when they host the San Antonio Spurs, winners of five straight.

The home team will be close to full strength, and my Spurs vs Heat predictions expect Miami to keep it close against the powerhouse visitors.

Here are my free NBA picks for this cross-conference showdown from Kaseya Center on Monday, March 23.

Spurs vs Heat prediction

Spurs vs Heat best bet: Heat +4.5 (-110)

The Miami Heat have played great basketball at home this season, winning 23 and covering in 36 games at Kaseya Center. Miami sports the second-highest cover percentage as a home underdog, going 7-2 against the spread.

Miami just covered in a one-point loss to Houston, and that was without Norman Powell, Jaime Jaquez, and Andrew Wiggins.

All three are expected to suit up, and they'll all play a part in helping the Heat's Top 10 home offense keep up with the San Antonio Spurs' explosive offense, while Bam Adebayo can focus on containing Victor Wembanyama.
