Heat at Kings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Heat 118, Kings 111
Money line (ML)
The Kings have been reeling. They have lost all four games of their five-game homestand they’re wrapping up against the Heat, who are coming off a road loss to the Golden State Warriors after blowing a 15-point halftime lead. Miami has lost three in a row and is 4-10 on the road this season. The Kings have had their struggles at home, going 7-10 at the Golden 1 Center. Miami is 3-3 as a road favorite this season, and the Kings are 3-8 as home dogs. Take the HEAT -115.

Against the spread (ATS)
Miami has the worst ATS record in the league at 9-18-1. Sacramento has only covered the spread in three of 11 home games in which they are the underdog, so neither team is a good bet in this situation. However, Miami did build a big lead against Golden State, and the Kings have lost by eight points or more in each of their last four games. Take the HEAT -1.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
Miami’s last two games have gone Over, and the Kings’ Over percentage of 63% is the fifth-highest in the league. Their last three games and five of their last seven have gone Over. They give up the second-most points in the league at 119.3. Take OVER 223.5 POINTS (-110).
