Randy’s Pick

The Miami Heat are the better team on paper and should be favored at home, but this is a ton of points with the way they're playing. Consistent offense has been an issue for the Heat, and they're looking more and more like a team that's run its course as a group. The Washington Wizards are a dumb team and don't play defense, but the Heat also plays down to their competition more times than not. I have to grab the free buckets with the Wizards on the road.

Randy’s Pick Washington Wizards +9.5
