ASA top play on 10* MIAMI HEAT +7.5 at Sacramento Kings, 10:10 PM ET - This is a great spot to bet on the Heat and fade the Kings who are coming off an emotional game last night against the Clippers. Miami last played on the 23rd, a win against the Pelicans. In the game against the Pels a scuffle broke out between the two teams and unfortunately for the Heat, Jimmy Butler is suspended for this game. But we still like Miami who has won 3 straight and 5 of their last six with two of those wins coming on the road in Milwaukee and Philadelphia without Butler. The Heat are 11-7 ATS on the road this season as a Dog with an average plus/minus of +0.66PPG. On that topic, the Kings are 10-13 ATS at home laying points with a net differential per game of +1.6PPG. Sacramento is also 3-5 ATS when playing without rest this season with a negative average differential of minus -5.3PPG. The Kings are 3-4 SU their last seven games heading into the contest against the Clippers and 5-5 SU their last ten games. When we compare each teams last five games we find the Heat have the leagues 6th best Net Rating differential versus the Kings who rank 11th. The Heat have stepped things up defensively with the 3rd best defensive efficiency rating over their last 5 games versus the Kings who rank 16th in that same span of games. The line is inflated due to the Heat suspensions, but it’s been over cooked. Grab the points.
