NBA Betting Trends - Washington (11-10) at Miami (6-15)
BetUS: The
Miami Heat, (12-9 ATS, 11-9-1 O/U) appear to
be getting back on track after suffering through
a dismal start to the regular without their
best player, Dywane Wade and a rapidly
aging Shaquille O’Neal.
The Heat have
won two consecutive games for the first
time this season, including Monday’s
117-113 road win over the Phoenix Suns.
Wade also scored 10 of his 31 points in
the final four minutes Monday and leads
the Heat in scoring and assists (22.7 points
6.4 assists per game).
The Washington Wizards, (13-8 ATS, 12-9
O/U) have also won two consecutive games
coming into this matchup, including a solid
102-88 win over the young Minnesota Timberwolves
on Tuesday.
Washington has also won four of its last
five and had six players reach double-digits
in scoring against Minnesota.
All-star forwards, Caron Butler and Antawn
Jamison have kept the Wizards afloat despite
the loss of the team’s leading scorer,
Gilbert Arenas. The athletic forwards are
averaging with 22.8 and 21.4 points, respectively.
Here is a look
at tonight’s key trends,
followed by my analysis and NBA Betting Free

The Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings

The Wizards are 5-13-2 ATS in the last 20
meetings.
Analysis: If
nothing else, the Wizards know how to put
the ball in the hole, which is the reason
I’m taking them to covert
the six-point spread against the Heat tonight.
I know Washington plays absolutely no defense
whatsoever, but Washington’s offense
is much better than Miami’s and should
be able to help them cover the spread.
