Heat vs Wizards Prediction
The Heat should be obvious big favorites, but this is a lot of points for a team that’s 2-8 SU and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. We just saw the Heat lose outright to the Pacers as massive favorites. Nothing with the Heat surprises me at this point. The Heat are kings of playing down to their level of competition and I’m not laying a massive line. Give me the Wizards and the endless buckets.
