The Miami Heat and Washington Wizards meet for Saturday’s only nationally televised game in a battle of 2-2 teams.

The Wizards are 2-2 this season and winners of back-to-back games against the Atlanta Hawks. Washington won by two and thirteen points, winning outright as underdogs. Kyle Kuzma remains out, so Washington turns to Jordan Poole and his plethora of youngsters.

Miami is 2-2 this year and suffered a loss to the Knicks last game (116-107). The Heat’s two wins are over the Pistons and Hornets, two of the worst teams in the NBA, so this seems like an easy win for Miami on paper, but the Wizards are looking to continue their winning streak.

That said, let’s dive into the match and provide some information and possibly some sweat.

NBC Sportsbook Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Bilal Coulibaly going over his 5.5 rebounding total:

“Bilal Coulibaly registered 14 potential rebounds in his last game and that number could increase if Kyle Kuzma is out.

Coulibaly converted nine of those fourteen rebound opportunities and played 35 minutes. With four straight games of 30+ minutes, Coulibaly seems like a good bet for an Over versus Miami with a lack of talent on the roster.”

Here are the best bets our model predicts for the Heat and the Wizards:

· Moneyline: NBC Sports finds strength by putting Miami on the ML (-410)
· Spread: NBC Sports has high confidence in Miami on the spread
· Total: NBC Sports has little confidence in a game on the Total MORE THAN 224.5 points
