ESPN will feature an interesting Western vs Eastern conference match-up tonight when the San Antonio Spurs travel to take on the Miami Heat from the AmericanAirlines Arena with tip-off time scheduled for 8:00pm EST. Online sportsbooks have opened with Miami as 4.5-point home basketball betting favorites in NBA odds vs San Antonio with an over/under total of 198.5. The money line at bookmakers also favors the Heat -200 while the Spurs are listed as +170 underdogs for Monday's game on ESPN and Sun Sports.
Tonight's game should prove to be an interesting offensive battle as the Heat will look to win their second straight game and finally put the 30-point loss to San Antonio on March 4th behind them. After losing five straight games in NBA odds, the Heat were able to bounce back at home vs the Los Angeles Lakers (94-88) last Thursday and followed that up with a 111-85 home win vs the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday. The Heat easily handled the Grizzlies by 33-points and sailed passed the 7.5-point basketball betting favorites to go 30-35-1 ATS for the season.
The Heat currently sit 3-games behind the Boston Celtics for the top spot in the Eastern conference and 2.5-games behind the Chicago Bulls. Dwayne Wade, who is averaging 26.3-ppg in Miami's last ten games, only had 19-points vs the Spurs last time and had a game-high 5 turnovers. The key to a Miami victory tonight is quite simple, Wade must attack the basket and attack it hard. The Spurs are also on a winning streak with 3-straight victories over the Pistons, Kings and Rockets.
San Antonio began a 3-game road trip with a 115-107 win in Houston last Saturday as Tony Parker lead the Spurs with 21-points, 6-assists and 3-rebounds. San Antonio won outright by 8-points and embarrassed NBA odds makers who listed the Spurs as 1-point underdogs to go 37-27-2 ATS for the season. Although Miami looks to be playing well with the "Big 3" of Wade, James and Bosh finally finding the basket, looking at the NBA betting trends, the Spurs have consistently been able to handle Miami going 6-1 in their last seven match-ups.
NBA Picks: San Antonio Spurs +4.5
