Match Predict – Handicap (-4.5) for Heat
The Wizards have looked awful lately. Of course, you can blame it on Bradley Beal’s injury, but there are enough players without him. The Washington Wizards will try to stop one of the conference leaders, but it won’t be easy.
The Miami Heat is slowly gaining momentum and two wins in a row will prove it. The Heat have looked good in their head-to-head encounters against the Wizards.
Total Points – Total Match Points Under 217.5
Without Bradley Beal, the Wizards’ attack suffers, as there is no such speed. The home side is likely to play defensively, as one of the leaders in the East is coming to town, so we suggest betting on a total of less.
Home Side Total Points – Under 106.5
The Washington Wizards are averaging 106.9 points per game this season, while the Heat is allowing their opponents to score 104.4 points. Only in one of the last five games, the Wizards have scored more than 106.5.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Washington Wizards vs Miami Heat
Washington Wizards:
Wes Unseld’s team is off to a good start, having fallen outside the top ten. The team has been playing good basketball for a long time, but recently the situation has become worse, plus leader Bradley Beal has dropped out of the lineup, and that’s a big loss.

The Washington Wizards approach the confrontation with the Miami Heat in a depressed mood, since the last meeting ended poorly. The Wizards lost to the Phoenix Suns, though that outcome wasn’t hard to predict (80-95). The Wizards are trying to catch up with the Atlanta Hawks, but on the other side, the New York Knicks are already catching up.
Miami Heat:
The Heat moved into first place in the Eastern Conference, as the Chicago Bulls lost their last meeting. Erik Spoelstra’s team is having another season at the top.
The Miami Heat coped with difficulties, as they recorded two wins in a row in their account. The team managed to put the San Antonio Spurs (112-95) in their place, and in the last game, the Charlotte Hornets (104-86) were defeated. The Heat is moving toward their goal and it’s no surprise, as the roster allows them to do so. They have a road trip to the Wizards, where they’ll have to turn on the speed again.
Safe Bets
In three of the last five head-to-head encounters, the game started with an accurate two-point shot. The odds for that outcome are 1.34.
