Premium Picks
Miami at Portland
This will be a difficult spot for Miami. They are off a stretch that saw them play four straight road games, all as a dog, and the Heat won all four outright. This is a breather alert game for the Heat. They just beat four teams that were considered better than them, and now they are laying more than seven. This is the ultimate letdown game, especially five games deep into a road trip. Make the play on Portland.
