The NBA odds from this pro basketball game has the home team Miami Heat favored by -14 ½ points with an over under line of 190 ½ points. The point spread opened up in this NBA game it was Miami favored -14 point and the total of 190 ½ points. There has been no movement on the total and a ½ point move on the Heat.

This is the third meeting between these clubs with each team winning and covering once on their home court.

The Wizards are 3-13 on their home court. They have lost four straight and nine of their past ten games. They come off the 115-113 double overtime defeat on Friday night to the Brooklyn Nets as a +6 point home underdog. The total landed over 183 ½ points. Washington wastes a very rare good shooting night as they hit on 47.3% of their shots. Season to date the Wizards are the worst offense in basketball scoring just 89 points and making less than 41% of their shots. The team is without John Wall, Trevor Ariza and A.J. Price all out with extended injuries.

The Heat is 15-3 on their home court. They have dropped three of their past five games after a 96-89 home defeat on Friday night to the Chicago Bulls as a -7 ½ point betting favorite. The game ended under 189 ½ points. Miami gets outhustled by the Bulls as Chicago pulls down 20 more rebounds than the Heat. That’s the dilemma with trying to play on the Heat. Their appetite for going 100% in all areas is gone during the regular season following their World Title. It’s something we have kept mentioning since game number one. It happens to all World Champions. The regular season suddenly means less now.
