The struggling Miami Heat try to shake a recent funk when they visit the capital city on Super Bowl Sunday to take on the Washington Wizards.<\/p>\n
The Wiz are clearly happy to tank, but is Miami able to take that win?\u00a0My Heat vs. Wizards predictions and NBA picks<\/a> expect what the books expect: a comfortable Heat win.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Heat vs Wizards prediction<\/p>\n Heat vs Wizards best bet: Heat -11 (-110)<\/p>\n The Washington Wizards<\/a> played last night and got ripped 127-113 by the Nets. They’re just 3-5 against the spread playing on the second night of a back-to-back.<\/p>\n Defense continues to be a problem for the Wizards, who rank second-last in the NBA in points allowed at 122 per contest.<\/p>\n This roster is a little in shambles, too. Most notably, leading scorer Alex Sarr (ankle) and leading set-up man Kyshawn George (knee) missed yesterday’s game and are a game-time decision. They are two of nine players who currently occupy the injured list, with seven sitting out against the Nets.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Miami Heat<\/a> are a cool 4-2 ATS as a road favorite, but leading scorer Norman Powell<\/a> (hand) and Bam Adebayo<\/a> (hip) are on the injured list and listed as game-time decisions.<\/p>\n The Heat are a Top-10 scoring defense, but they haven\u2019t looked it lately. They\u2019ve lost four of their last six, and have surrendered at least 125 points in three of those losses.<\/p>\n Miami has won four of the last five head-to-head matchups, and all of them have been blowouts, winning by 12+ points in each. The Wiz won the last game they played, though, surviving a 1-point win.<\/p>\n Normally, I\u2019d lean on the home team and the points, but this Washington team feels like a compilation of promising talent that can\u2019t be woven together by injured stars Anthony Davis and Trae Young.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Heat vs Wizards same-game parlay<\/p>\n The good news is that the books have Powell listed in the props, which means he must be close to returning.\u00a0He\u2019s coming off a 24-point game against New Orleans, and Powell has gone for 20+ in three straight games.<\/p>\n Alex Sarr<\/a> will do damage for the Wiz against this struggling Miami defense that could be without Adebayo.<\/p>\n Heat vs Wizards SGP<\/p>\n Norman Powell Over 22.5 points<\/p>\n Alex Sarr Over 16.5 points<\/p>\n Our “from downtown” SGP: Sarr strikes on Super Bowl Sunday!<\/p>\n Keyonte George<\/a> has lost his jumper in February, shooting just 1-for-5 from 3-point range over three games. Miami isn\u2019t the exact get-right team, as they\u2019re sixth in the league in 3-point shooting defense.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Miami guard Davion Mitchell<\/a> has had 7+ assists just four times in the last 11 games, and while he\u2019s had 8+ assists in back-to-back games against the Wizards, that\u2019s too small a sample size to put some money on.<\/p>\n Heat vs Wizards SGP<\/p>\n Norman Powell Over 22.5 points<\/p>\n Alex Sarr Over 16.5 points<\/p>\n Keyonte George Under 1.5 threes<\/p>\n Davion Mitchell Under 6.5 assists<\/p>\n Heat vs Wizards odds<\/p>\n Spread: Heat -11 | Wizards +11<\/p>\n Moneyline: Heat -474 | Wizards +380<\/p>\n Over\/Under: Over 235.5 | Under 235.5<\/p>\n Heat vs Wizards betting trend to know<\/p>\n The Wizards have lost 40 of their last 41 games on the second night of a back-to-back.
