Miami Heat Odds: How Should The Plays Be Made With Dinwiddie Down?
Kyle Lowry will suit up and it would be a drop-dead shock if Bam didn’t too. When it comes to how this game should be wagered, the Heat are the way to lean, but what are the numbers on the matchup?
Miami Heat vs Wizards Odds, Spread, Over/Under
Money Line: Miami Heat -280, Washington Wizards +240
Spread: Miami Heat -6.5
Over/Under: 210.5
Analysis
If you had to pick a play from the standard choices above, the over/under would be the way to go. With the Miami Heat at sixth in the league in scoring at 110.1 and the Wizards at 12th with 108.4, the 210.5 total points margin isn’t that daunting.
That’s, even, without Spencer Dinwiddie on the floor for the Wizards. The spread also isn’t a bad play to make because of the Dinwiddie injury, but it’s still a risky play due to the close and testy nature of games between these two, historically.
For that reason, you can also assume the money line isn’t a bad way to go, but the value just isn’t there pregame. Laying $2.80 to the dollar just isn’t worth it for the risk associated, as again, close and scrappy games between these two teams.
If you’re feeling froggy, the leap might pay off though, as the Heat should win this game. However, there is always that shot of a game that goes right down to the last shot.
Either way it goes, it’ll be a great game to watch and hopefully a win for the Miami Heat. As far as your wagers, play smartly and choose wisely.
