The Miami Heat seem to save their best basketball for the Washington Wizards. They swept the three games vs the Wizards a year ago and over the long haul they have now gone 19-5 in the last 24 matchups, which includes nine of the last 12 played here in Washington. The Heat will be hungry as they saw their three game winning streak halted at the hands of a hot 4-0 Phoenix Suns team, so I like them more here off a loss. Miami is 29-16 ATS the past three seasons when coming off a home loss. Meanwhile, Washington is 3-14 ATS vs. division opponents since last season. The Heat are a playoff caliber team, while the Wizards are not and with the domination in this series by the Heat I'll gladly grab the points in this one. Miami gets the call.
