The Kings are 5-13 ATS in the last 18 meetings in Miami and 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
The Sacramento Kings have had a productive week, but this team isn’t going to fool me. The Kings are still the Kings until proven otherwise and their defensive effort isn’t going to get better on the end of a back to back. The Miami Heat are absolutely desperate for a victory and there’s reports that Jimmy Butler could make his return for this contest. Either way, I expect the Heat to dig deep and find a way to win this game. This season is starting to slip away fast. The Heat need this one.
