Washington Wizards vs. Miami Heat CashBet Wagering Analysis

These teams are both getting the acid test in this matchup. Both teams are playing without their star players and it will be a good check on how deep they are. Having the game played at home will be a great advantage for the Miami Heat over the Washington Wizards.

Wizards Maximizing their Good Start

When will this end? The Washington Wizards are now the best team in the NBA Eastern Conference and they came from being a team struggling to get to a playoff spot in the play-in tournament last season. Bradley Beal has been sidelined with the injury and that will be a big factor. This team is built to surround him and will now play without their centerpiece player. This is going to be a challenge for the rest of the team but so far, Spencer Dinwiddie has been filling the huge hole left by Beal. Also expected to step up will be Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope contributing to the scoring.

Heating Up

The Miami Heat have been a surprising team as well and with the way they are playing, it doesn’t look like they are missing Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Despite being without their top two players, the Miami Heat are on back-to-back wins beating the Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder on the road. This team is certainly happy to be back at home and expect them to play stronger. It is not yet sure if they will get Bam Adebayo back but Dwayne Dedmon has been doing a great job filling in his role. Tyler Herro is living up to his potential and has become a great scoring option while Kyle Lowry is breaking in with Erik Spoelstra’s system.

The Washington Wizards are just going to be the riskier pick and there is no clear person that will step up with Bradley Beal out. Tyler Herro is surely going to have a good game once again and that gives them the edge to win this game is that they know who to turn to with their best players’ nursing injuries.
