The Miami Heat (40-33) travel to the Washington Wizards (14-60). Miami appears to be on a streak of winning every other game. Meanwhile, the Wizards are back on a two-game losing streak. Additionally, the Heat have the regular season series edge at two games to one. However, the Wizards won the last matchup by two points earlier this month.
Therefore, could you see the Wizards pulling off the unlikely and waiting at home again on Sunday?

Key Stats
Miami Heat
Miami is a team that can look great on any given night, and they did so against Portland. It’s fair to say that the Trail Blazers and Washington Wizards are comparable in terms of everything. They will be led by Jimmy Butler. Butler averages 21.1 points per game. Additionally, Bam Adebayo is a rebounding machine with 10.7 boards per contest. Additionally, Thomas Bryant is coming off a strong 26-point performance against the Blazers. He will hope to repeat a similar effort again.
Washington Wizards
The Washington Wizards have Kyle Kuzma listed as a game-time decision. Kuzma leads the team in scoring at 22.3 points per game. Additionally, Deni Avdija pulls down 7.1 rebounds per game. Certainly, this Wizards team is capable of keeping it close on any given night. Conversely, they’re just as likely to lose by 40. Especially when you factor in that they are playing the Miami Heat, things could get ugly in a hurry.

Game Prediction
The Washington Wizards were on a winning streak but have since lost two games to bad teams. Conversely, the Heat tend to take care of businesses, especially against teams with less quality on the roster. The point total is a complete stay-away for me, on the other hand. Therefore, I am only touching the spread, and I’m picking the Miami Heat to cover.
Final Pick
Miami Heat -10.5
