Wizards vs. Heat Prediction and Odds: Value on Low Total in Miami
By Peter Dewey
The Miami Heat have endured several injuries this season and are still 21-13. It’s impressive to say the least, and Miami will look to continue this run at home against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.
The Wizards could get Bradley Beal (questionable) and Rui Hachimura (questionable) back in this game, but they are still underdogs against a Miami team that is without Kyle Lowry (health and safety protocols), Bam Adebayo (thumb), Dewayne Dedmon (knee) and Markieff Morris (neck).

Wizards vs. Heat Prediction and Pick
Miami is 9-6 against the spread this season at home, but it is just 9-13 against the spread as a favorite this season.
Butler’s presence is huge for the Heat, but this game may come down to whether or not Beal is available.
The Wizards beat the Knicks with a short-handed team, but they were blown out by the Philadelphia 76ers in their last game.
Miami has played a bunch of low-scoring affairs with its key players out, and I’d lean more towards the total with the uncertainty on both sides due to injury.
The Heat are one of the best over teams in the league, mainly because they play at a ton of low totals, and they’re facing a Wizards team that 16-16-1 against the over this season.
If Beal plays, I love the over in this spot as Washington’s defense has slipped to No. 21 in the league after a fast start.
Lean: Heat-Wizards OVER 208.5 (-110)
