Miami -6


League: 8-3 (9-2 this no...av. win 14.5) home 5+ fav, total 200+, no rest off 10- ats win as away 5+ fav. [Mia]
(Also 9-2 over...Av. score 214.6...team scores 214.6 ppg!!)
10-4 (Av. win 15.9) any total if opp off 10- ats win. (7-0 since 2000-01 season)

Miami have already beaten Washington twice this season...By 12 @ Washington and 10 @ home.

Big stat in both games has been points in the paint....Miami 52 to 24 in the first game and 52 to 30 in their home meeting.

Can't see any reason at all why Miami won't continue to get easy shots in this one.

Miami have been very strong at finishing games all season and should be able to pull away from the Wizzers at some stage.


Good Luck all

Before you jump on this one there's a couple of things you might want to consider. Both Haywood and Brown were out for the first game and Haywood had just come back for the second. Jeffries, who was only getting limited min is now playing 25. This is not the same Wash team that lost the first two games but most people won't pay attention to that. Here's what I really find odd. Miami gave Wash 10 last time at home, has beat them twice and is now only giving 6'. Vegas don't think like that. This line should be at least the same as last time or even 12 if something hasn't changed. Just thought you might want to consider this before you put a play on it. Good luck

Thanks for that, gsp.

I have to admit I didn't remember that Haywood and Brown were both out. That is a concern.

A couple of things worry me about this game...Shaq in back-to-back situations isn't usually as effective....and you are absolutely correct about it being somewhat of a strange line.

My mind has been eased a bit by it now being out to 7.5, which gives me a decent shot at a middle if nothing else.

Good luck to you too.
