Sacramento Kings vs Miami Heat prediction
This line is strange. Yes, the Heat is better than a 7-game losing streak would indicate, and you’d think they’d get their act together at home, especially with the team being as healthy as they’ve been in a while. However, 7 straight losses are 7 straight losses. The Heat also have major offensive issues, where cracking 90 points feels like a chore. The Heat will also be without Duncan Robinson, which hurts an already struggling offense. Let’s also not overlook the fact the Kings have won 4 straight games. You can argue the wrong team is favored. Give me the Kings.
