Betting on the Washington Wizards
The Wizards have managed to bounce back nicely from a slow start to the campaign, recording six wins in their last seven games to sneak into the top six in the Eastern Conference. However, all their matches during that good stretch were at home, so now they will have to prove that they can also maintain that level of play away from home, where they currently have a 3-3 record.
Although they have been unproductive on offense, averaging 108.6 points per game (third worst in the NBA), they have surprised with their solid defense, which is the eighth best in the league with 109.4 points allowed per game, and which has been holding their opponents to 44.6% shooting accuracy from the field.
It was precisely that defensive solidity that guided them to their most recent victory, with a score of 104-106 against the Charlotte Hornets, and with Kyle Kuzma and Bradley Beal being the best on offense with 28 and 26 points, respectively.
Betting on the Miami Heat
Unlike Washington, the Heat have not yet been able to get back on their way and be the team they are expected to be, however, it should also be noted that crucial players have suffered from injuries, such as Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro. The latter, remaining absent for this game, and the former being in doubt until the last minute.
Another aspect that has contributed to Florida’s poor start is their terrible performance they have had away from home, as they have won just one of their eight away games, so they will be happy to return to FTX Arena for a short two-game series against the Wizards.
Being effective on offense has also been a difficult mission for the Heat, who are averaging just 108.2 points scored per game (the second-worst number of the league).Still, their defense is the ninth best in the NBA with an average of 109.8 points against per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The previous encounter between the Wizards vs Heat left a clear impression of what these teams have been like this season, as both have struggled to score points throughout, but have managed to become solid defensively.
The Wizards are the third worst team regarding offense in the league, and their production drops even further when they go on the road, achieving an average of just 106.8 points scored in that condition, so it is not surprising that they have covered the Under in four of their six away games this campaign..
The Heat have covered the spread in only one of their last five home games, which indicates that their home duels tend to be very even, which is why, with both sides performing better on defense than offense, we expect this to be a low-scoring game.
Prediction: Under (Less than 212 points will be scored).
