Miami at Washington

Miami had to play last night, losing 104-101 at Orlando as a favorite and now plays another road contest. The Heat are shorthanded as starting guard Wayne Ellington (ankle) and starting forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) both are expected to miss their second straight game. In addition, James Johnson (hernia) and Dion Waiters (left ankle) are also out. Washington is well rested as this is their opener. Even better news is that five-time All-Star point guard John Wall is healthy after missing half the season a year ago. Road underdogs like Miami against a division opponent that come off an upset loss to a division rival as a favorite are 2-24 ATS, so back the rested home team. Play Washington.
