Expert picks & predictions for Monday’s Wizards vs. Heat game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Heat -8.5 against the Wizards:
“Washington won the first 118-98 on Nov. 2 in Mexico City and despite being 2-1 in the last three games, this is a Miami or pass spot. This is the final game of a four-game home stand for Miami and Washington has only put together a winning streak twice this season. Following a win, the Wizards have lost by at least eight points in five out of 10 games with three outright wins.”
