Premium Pick

Miami is just 12-22-2 ATS this season and the Heat lost 124-119 at Denver last night and now has to play in altitude again with no rest as they take on the Jazz tonight. Utah is home following a three-game trip in which it lost all three, but the Jazz have covered the spread four of five playing on no rest and they lost a heartbreaker 126-125 at Sacramento on Friday night when Lauri Markkanen scored 36 points, but missed a a shot at the buzzer to give the Kings the victory and the game went OVER by 8.5 points. Miami's game against the Nuggets went OVER by 18.5 points and the past three meetings with Utah have gone OVER. The OVER is 19-8 in the Heat's past 27 games playing with no rest and the Heat allowed Denver 59.2 percent shooting last night. Play the Jazz and the OVER.
