espite making the NBA Finals last season, Miami was the 5th-worst team against the spread last year at 46-58-3. They’re off to a 1-4 start against the spread this season. Part of that probably has to do with the Heat having some older players like Jimmy Butler, Kevin Love, and Kyle Lowry. Some of it likely has to do with Miami’s motivation: they just want to win and don’t care if it’s by 15 points or 1 point. There’s also the fact that Miami went just 44-38 in the regular season last year. That likely didn’t help their record against the spread.
Washington is a young and unpredictable team. The addition of Jordan Poole means that the Wizards’ offensive ceiling has been raised in addition to their floor being lowered. With young teams, you are often surprised, sometimes in a positive way. For the above reasons, I’m taking the Wizards and the points in Miami on Friday. by A.Rome

The Mavericks are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games against Denver.
The Nuggets are 4-1 SU in their last 5 home games.
The total has gone under in 9 of the last 10 home games for Denver.
The Mavericks are off to a 4-0 start after their win versus Bulls, while the Nuggets dropped their first game of the year on Wednesday, and now sit at 4-1.
I like Dallas here; the Mavericks are off to great start to the season, and this has been without Irving in the lineup for two of them. We’ll grab the +6.5 points with the possibility Irving returns tonight, but regardless I still like the Mavericks to hang around even if he doesn’t play.
Dallas has been making the three-ball at a high percentage (41%) thus far and I expect that to continue tonight. The Nuggets are going to be ready to go after their first loss of the season, but Dallas does enough to stay within the number. A.Rome

The under is 49-40 in Chicago’s games since the beginning of last season.
The under is 48-41-1 in Brooklyn’s games since the beginning of last season.
This Brooklyn team is scrappy. They have a bona fide star in Mikal Bridges, a scoring extraordinaire in Cam Thomas who’s averaging 28 points per game, and a former #1 overall pick in Ben Simmons who’s averaging 10.3 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. Even if the Nets are missing some players for this game, they should have the depth to overcome it.
Chicago has been a team that’s consistently underwhelmed the past two seasons. Last year the Bulls went 40-42 straight up in the regular season and 41-40-3 against the spread (including playoffs). They are almost aggressively mediocre. In this type of scenario, I like the younger team to play with more energy and enthusiasm. I like the Nets to make it 3 road wins in a row or come very close to doing so on Friday. by A.Rome

The Knicks are 3-2 ATS in their last 5 road games.
The Bucks are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games versus New York.
The total has gone under in 3 of the last 5 games in this matchup.
The Knicks are coming off a home loss to the Cavaliers, while the Bucks were embarrassed by the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.
Milwaukee bounces back here. Those blowout losses happen it is a long season, and while no team likes to have that type of performance it can be beneficial in serving as a learning experience. Milwaukee has one the most talented rosters in the league, but they are still trying to find their rhythm in terms of playing together. Whenever that flip switches, watch out for the Bucks.
With the in-season tournament starting tonight, off the bad loss and back home in Milwaukee, I think it is the ideal spot for Milwaukee to show glimpses of their full potential in primetime. Bucks take care of business. by A.Rome
