Randy’s Pick

The way this line has shifted tells me the Heat could sit some guys after playing last night. Don’t be surprised if Butler and others don’t play. Check before locking in a bet. The Brooklyn Nets are also a team we’ve backed all year, and they’re 10-3-1 ATS on the season. With all that said, the Heat are the better team, and they show up most nights regardless of who takes the court. The Heat beat the Nets a little over a week ago by 7 points. I want the free buckets in my pocket.
