Wizards vs Heat Prediction
The Wizards look more and more like they’ve thrown in the towel on the season, as they’re 3-7 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. The Wizards have fallen to 30-43-1 ATS on the season. The Heat are coming off their best week in a while, as they’ve won four straight games, and they’re sneaking up on the Bulls for that ninth seed.
It’s like that win over the Warriors, and Jimmy Butler has given the Heat a shot in the arm. Of course, the Hawks and 76ers aren’t the greatest competition, but wins, regardless, are more than what the Heat were doing previously. The Heat beat the Wizards by 16 points earlier this month. With the Wizards’ injury report, this should be no different. Give me the Heat in a road blowout.
