The Miami Heat have gotten everything they expected out of their trio of stars in Bosh, James, and Wade. The issue tonight is that the trio will all be on the sidelines watching this one. I think the oddsmakers have over-reacted with the Wizards now installed a favorite here. The Heat play defense as well as anyone, and despite the injuries, they continue to do so. The Heat has held five of their last six opponents to less than 90 points. That could bode poorly for Washington who is 1-8 ATS in their last nine when they fail to make it to 90 points. The Heat have yieleded no ground to losing teams as they are 6-0 ATS in their last six when facing them. They are also 19-6-1 in their last 26 vs. the Southeast. The Wizards are also on no rest, and are 11-5-1 to the UNDER over their last 17 without rest. The Heat have owned this arena as they are 18-4 ATS in their last 23 here. There is still enough talent in the house, so play on Miami and take the UNDER.
