The set-up: Miami comes in "dog tired" here after its loss in Milwaukee just last night. Washington's playoff hopes took another hit with its 113-108 home loss to Denver on Thursday. The Heat have gone 2-1 so far in this series. But Miami is playing the fourth game of a four game trip, including the second in two nights. The last thing the Heat want to do is to turn tonight's contest into a "track meet." Miami is 5-5 in the second game of back-to-back situational this year, averaging 109.8 points and conceding 107.1 in those contests. The Wizards enter having lost three straight. Over their last ten game they're 4-6, allowing 117.4 points during that stretch.

The pick: However note that the Wizards have seen the total go "under" the number in four of five already this year off a cover where the team lost the game SU as an underdog. Additionally note that Miami has seen the total go "under" in 14 of its last 22 vs. good offensive teams which score 106 plus points per contest. This number is high, play the "under."
