Kings at Heat: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Heat 110, Kings 106
Money line (ML)
The HEAT (-190) are money line favorites in this game despite having lost their last five games. However, there is a chance they could be getting SF Jimmy Butler back in their lineup on Saturday.
If that is the case, Miami has value despite the Kings winning their last three games. Considering this game is a home game for Miami, take the money line here and expect them to get back on the right track Saturday night.
Against the spread (ATS)
The KINGS +4.5 (-110) is the play on the spread because while we expect the Heat to ultimately win, don’t be surprised if Sacramento keeps this close.
As previously mentioned, they’ve won three straight and are playing better basketball as of late. Can they keep this game to a one or two-possession contest? We think so. Take the points here and ride with the Kings on the spread.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 225.5 (-110) is the smart play here as the Heat could be without several key players in the starting lineup. While they are still a good bet to win this game, they will likely try to steal this game on the defensive end of the court. Expect this to be a clunky game for a while, but for the Under to ultimately hit in Miami.
