Premium Pick

Miami is close to being in a must-win situation with three games remaining in the season if it wants to make the playoffs. Miami suffered a tough two-point loss Friday night at Toronto as James Johnson scored 22 points, but his team shot only 39.8 percent and couldn't overcome DeMar DeRozan's 38 points. The Heat has won and covered the last three meetings with the Wizards, who come off a 106-103 win at New York on Thursday as a six-point favorite as Bradley Beal and John Wall combined for 49 points. Washington has covered the spread just once its last five games overall and only two of its last seven home games. Miami is 21-8-1 ATS its last 30 games at Washington and the Wizards are 4-16-1 ATS when playing on one day of rest. Miami is getting points and in a more desperate situation. Play the Heat.
