Heat vs. Wizards Prediction & Pick
Everything went right for Miami last time out. Lowry set a season high in points, Cody Martin chipped in another 24, and four of the Heat's five starters notched at least 17. The Wizards, meanwhile, shot a disastrous 26.3% from deep and just 57.9% from the free throw line.
Assuming Lowry returns to normal and Wizards players not named Kristaps Porzingis or Kyle Kuzma don't stink it up, Washington should be able to win in this rematch.
Final Score Prediction:'Heat: 106 | Wizards: 110
Heat vs. Wizards Best Bet
The Wizards' undersized frontcourt presents an opportunity for Bam Adebayo, assuming he plays on Friday night. Adebayo had success in their last matchup, grabbing 11 rebounds during the win. Washington has struggled to keep opponents off of the glass this season, giving up the 10th-most rebounds per game. With Jimmy Butler out for this contest, Miami will look to Adebayo to set the tempo on the boards once again.
