New Orleans Pelicans VS Miami Heat

This NBA regular season game will be played on February 12, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Manila time, Philippines, with the New Orleans Pelicans hosting the Miami Heat. The focus of this prediction is on the over/under cap, with a handicap of less than 232.5 points.

The New Orleans Pelicans' recent offensive form has been up and down, and their defensive performance is acceptable, and their ability to control the pace of the game will directly affect the total scoring. The Miami Heat have recently shown typical defensive powerhouses, with a slow pace of the game and a tendency to fight with low scores, and the total score in recent games is generally low.

head-to-head records of the two teams in historical head-to-head show that the style of play is mostly high-intensity defensive confrontation, and the total score is usually not high, and there have been many results lower than the current 232.5-point handicap, and the historical head-to-head data supports the direction of small points.

The over/under market is 232.5 points, under 232.5 is 0.91 and over 232.5 is also 0.91. The odds combination is balanced, and there is no obvious bias towards either side, but combined with the fundamentals of the two teams, the direction of the small score has a higher market rationality.

that based on the recent defensive and slow-paced style of play of the two teams, as well as the tradition of more small points in historical head-to-heads, it is expected that this game will be a defensive battle, and the total score will be difficult to break through the high handicap. Predicted direction: less than 232.5 points.
