The Washington Wizards will now take on Miami Heat at home in the Capital One Arena. In their first head-to-head encounter of the season a couple of days ago, the Miami Heat had a 112-97 victory on their home court. We’ll see if there’ll be revenge at 01:00 UK time.
Possible line-ups for the match:
Washington Wizards:
G – Spencer Dinwiddie; G – Bradley Beal; F – Kentavious Caldwell-Pope; F – Kyle Kuzma; C – Daniel Gafford.
Miami Heat:
G – Kyle Lowry; G – Duncan Robinson; F – Jimmy Butler; F – P.J. Tucker; C – Bam Adebayo.
Washington Wizards:
The Washington Wizards played the previous game without Spencer Dinwiddie. The Wizards’ coaching staff gave that player a rest. Perhaps Spencer’s absence had a slight impact on the Wizards’ performance. No matter how hard the Wizards tried, they failed to produce a winning performance in Florida. Unseld’s men lost that game, 97-112.

Dinwiddie will be on the court this time. It’s a significant strengthening for the Wizards, as Spencer is an important player on the team. He’s scoring 15.7 points this season on average, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.7 assists.
Miami Heat:
The victory over the Washington Wizards was the fourth straight for the Miami Heat. The Miami Heat also defeated the Utah Jazz (111-105), Oklahoma City Thunder (103-93), and New Orleans Pelicans (113-98). With that, the Heat moved up to second place in the Eastern Conference. They’re now close to catching up with the Brooklyn Nets.

It’s worth noting that Bam Adebayo’s appearance on the court is questionable. It’s very likely that he won’t play in this game. Tyler Herro, on the other hand, may take a part in this game.

The Washington Wizards have lost only one game at home this season. Most recently, Unseld’s team beat the Milwaukee Bucks and Memphis Grizzlies at home.
However, we think that the Heat will once again be stronger than their opponent.
Our first prediction and bet are the Heat’s win with the odds of 1.86 with the VBet bookmaker.
In the previous game, the Washington Wizards failed to play well in attack. But with the return of Dinwiddie, the Wizards should play more brightly. Spencer was sorely missed in the last meeting. With him, Unseld’s men will try to put up a good fight against the second team in the East.
The Wizards are doing quite well in the home court. They’re scoring 113 points on average. It’s very likely that this time the opponents will hit the total.
Our second prediction and bet are total match points over 203 with the odds of 1.66 with the Vbet bookmaker.
