Washington at Miami

Miami cruised to an easy first round victory over the Nets while the Wizards had to work hard against the Bulls to get here. After a week layoff, Miami takes to the home floor again. Shaq, off the much needed rest, will come to play tonight after reportedly getting snubbed for the MVP. Washington's poor defense will have no answer for him. The Heat beat up on teams like this as they are 11-3 ATat home versus poor defensive teams (allowing 99+ points/game this season). Washington is 1-8 ATS on the road versus very good teams (outscoring their opponents by 6+ points/game) over the last 3 seasons. Two units on a first-game blow out here.
