Similarly, the Heat (-500) are too expensive to consider.<\/p>\n BET HEAT -10.5 (-118).<\/p>\n The Heat have covered well on the road over the last few weeks, having rewarded bettors in 4 straight away games. They are 5-3 ATS in their previous 8 games as a favorite.<\/p>\n The Wizards have gone just 1-2 ATS in their last 3 games as a double-digit underdog. Washington has allowed at least 127 points in 3 of its last 5 games, so it has had immense issues on that side of the court.<\/p>\n Back HEAT -10.5 (-118).<\/p>\n BET OVER 235.5 (-110).<\/p>\n The Wizards rank 29th in defensive rating and sixth in pace. That combination suggests the Over is the better route. Washington has gone Over in 5 straight games.<\/p>\n Miami has gone Over in 8 of its last 12 games and has scored at least 122 points in 5 of those contests. Take OVER 235.5 (-110).<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n HoopsHype<\/a> | Celtics Wire<\/a> | Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n Our team of savvy editors independently handpicks all recommendations.
