Orlando at Miami

Premium Pick

It seems we have seen the script many times before. Orlando, a very poor team goes on a run, but the before and after have not been so pretty. The Miami Heat are next up as they are a team that is 24-31 on the season despite just closing out a 13-game winning streak with a loss their last time out. The intensity every night of a team with the hot hand pretty much assures they deliver the "A" game, but once that streak ends, a team tends to lose some of that intensity they have been playing with for so long. That may ring even more true tonight taking on a team that is 4-16 in their last 20. This line indicates a team that is better than their record, and the streak plays into this. Make the play on Orlando.
