Heat at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 111, Magic 105

Moneyline

The Magic will miss Wagner while the Heat are healthy and have a rested Herro, who is averaging 23.8 points in 5 games this season as he returns after missing 2 games. The Heat are 3-2 with Herro in the lineup.

Miami has struggled on the road this season, going 4-7 so far, while Orlando is 9-4 at home. But 6 of the Heat's 7 losses have been without Herro.

Give the Heat the edge in this game, but with only a 1.5-point spread, you will get better value for little risk betting the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

While you could go with the ML, which protects you in the case of a Heat 1-point win, Miami has only won by 1 point once this season. Thirteen of their 14 wins have been by at least 2 points.

Orlando has not lost by fewer than 2 points.

BET HEAT -1.5 (+100).

Over/Under

Their first meeting this season had a total of 246, while their meeting last week finished with a total of 211.

Four of the Magic's last 10 games have surpassed 235, while 5 of the Heat's last 10 have. But the total has stayed below 235 in 4 of the Magic's last 5 losses.

BET UNDER 235.5 (-110).
