INJURY TO WATCH
Wizards point guard John Wall is out until late March as he recovers from knee surgery. For the Heat, the lone injury on their report is to Dion Waiters as he is out for the season following foot surgery in January.
BETTING STRATEGY
Washington is coming off a back-to-back as it was impressive last night in a 116-97 win at the Pelicans, benefiting from Anthony Davis missing the game with a sprained ankle. It ended the Pelicans’ 10-game winning streak. The Wizards have won two in a row including a 117-113 home overtime victory over the Heat. Prior to that game which took an extra five minutes to reach the total score, these two squads had played a pair of contests this season that stayed under the total. The Wizards will find baskets much tougher tonight against the defensive-minded Heat, while the slow tempo of Miami should limit possessions enough to keep the total under. It seems a few points too high. Take advantage.
