The Miami Heat close out a three-game homestand against the Washington Wizards on Saturday afternoon.

Miami has been hot and cold recently, losing two straight before upsetting the 76ers to open its homestand. However, the Heat then lost 147-129 to Boston on Wednesday night.

The Heat already blew out the Wizards twice this season, 132-101 in February and 150-129 last month.

The oddsmakers have the Heat as big home favorites at the best betting sites on
Saturday afternoon.

Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Saturday afternoon’s NBA matchup.

Wizards vs. Heat Best NBA Prop Bets

Wizards Best NBA Prop Bet

  • Will Riley OVER 14.5 Points (-102)

Will Riley is getting a chance to show what he can do late in his rookie season. The 21st overall pick has been much better in the second half than in the first half.

Since February 1, Riley has averaged 15.1 points per game. He’s gone OVER 14.5 points in 16 of those 29 games, and he’s been even better recently. The rookie is averaging 17.0 points per game in his last 10 contests.

Wizards vs. Heat Prediction and Pick

The Heat are still pushing for a playoff position. They know they’re likely to be in the play-in tournament, but they’re still within reach of getting that all-important home-court advantage.

The Wizards have lost by at least 19 in three straight games, and the Heat have already taken it to Washington twice this calendar year.

Give me the Heat to get another blowout win over the Wizards on Saturday afternoon.

Pick: Heat -17.5 (-110)
