Take Miami Heat -8.5 over Washington Wizards at BetUS
Take the Heat over the Washington Wizards in Miami tonight. The Wizards are one of the worst teams in the NBA on the road at just 3-19 this year. The Heat are just finishing up a 4 game home stand, on which they are already 3-1. The Wizards are currently on a 3 game slide, and they’ve dropped 10 of their last 12 overall. Miami has 4 straight wins against the spread against teams with a losing record, while Washington has lost 5 of their last 6 games against the spread on the road. The Wizards have covered in 7 of their last 8 at Miami, but this is one of the worst teams Washington has had in recent memory. I’ll take the Heat at home.
Take Wake Forest +1.5 over Duke at Bookmaker
Wake Forest can certainly hold their own against the nations newly-crowned #1 team, the Duke Blue Devils. Last season, with the exact same starting rosters, the Demon Deacons defeated Duke by a final score of 86-73 at Wake Forest. It was considered a huge upset last season with the Blue Devils losing by 13 points as 8 point favorites, but this year it won’t be quite a shocking. It’s obvious that both teams have improved, but the edge still leans toward Wake on their home court. They have edges in shooting percentage, rebounding, and scoring offense that can’t be overlooked. Both teams have put forth impressive defensive efforts this season, with Wake giving up 62 points per game at home this season and Duke giving up the same amount on the road. It will be a close game for sure, but I think the Demon Deacons walk way with the victory over Duke.
Free Pick Records:
CBB: 21-20
NBA: 7-12
NHL: 1-0
CFB: 3-1
NFL: 4-1

Got something to say?
Your reasoning on the Heat/Wizards game is sound as always. However, your NBA logic in regards to free picks has sadly proven to be counterproductive (7/12). So I’ll pick opposite of you.
The college game should be a great one and I’m inclined to go with your Deacons.

I’m looking forward to the Wake/Duke game as well. It’s been a rough run for the NBA free picks, but I’m pretty confident that they will start trending the other way.
Thanks for your comment.

Tony,
The reason they are free picks is that they are my lowest rated plays for the day, which typically hit at or only slightly above 50%. If they were stronger plays, I would release them as premium plays. Thanks!

I disagree with your Heat pick for two reasons/trends. Home court advantage means nothing between these two clubs, as the road team have covered 20 of the last 28 games. And secondly, as you already pointed out, Washington has covered 7 of the last 8 against Heat. Yes, a different Washington team, but the trends will hold true
Good luck

Adrain,
The good news is that one of us gets to be right! I feel like the Wizards have mailed it in for the most part this year. You may be on the right side getting 8 or 9 points, but I’m sticking with the Heat.
Good Luck!
Jack
