Washington Wizards @ Miami Heat (Over) ...

Even though there has been some very low scoring Wizards games, they've been playing in some very high scoring games as well. Washington doesn't have a great record, to any standards. However, its coming off a win and should be threats to keep this one close considering its covered the spread in four of their past five away games. Washington will match their opponent most of the time if lots of points are put up in games.

With the departure of Jimmy Butler, I believe that this Miami Heat team plays a lot faster now. Butler seemed to slow the games down and play to his pace a lot more. Now, the Heat have started to open things up and playing through a faster Tyler Herro & Bam Adebayo. Having said that, the Heat have began playing in a lot more high scoring games and should continue that trend coming down the stretch.

In the end, I believe that if the Wizards want a chance at winning this game (I think they can keep it close,) they are going to have to score. This total has gone down after the first matchup this season. Give me the "over" here on Monday.

Score Prediction: 121-114 Miami.
