Miami Heat Have a Serious Shot at Three-peat!

The Miami Heat are coming off back to back NBA world
championships and are showing little evidence that they are going to go
away any time soon. While they are getting a run for their money by the
Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference race for the top seed in the
playoffs there is little doubt that they will be the favorites on the
NBA betting board to win it all again come the month of June.

Coming Up

The Miami Heat are at the Detroit Pistons On Friday, March 28th with a
game at the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, March 29th. They then open a 5
game home stand with a matchup against the Toronto Raptors on Monday,
March 31st.

Handicapper’s Notebook

The Miami Heat are always a potential overlay on the NBA betting
board, especially at home, as the 2 time defending world champions and
with the most recognizable player in the game with LeBron James. When
you couple that with the general public always preferring the power home
team and you have the recipe for costly overlays on the board and
handicappers must be vigilant about value assessments with teams such as
Miami. The Heat have paid out in just 7 out of their last 19 home games
with 5 out of their last 8 home games going over the total. Miami has
been a better success on the road as the general betting public is less
enamored with taking away teams, regardless of how good that they are,
and have paid out in 8 out of their last 12 away games as 5 out of their
last 9 away games have gone under the total. The Miami Heat have seen
improved board value as a favorite recently with just 3 losses against
the spread in their last 11 games as a chalk. One of the best plays in
sports on any betting board is a power dog and Miami has certainly
excelled in that role with 11 payouts in their last 16 games as a dog
with 7 out of their last 11 games as a dog going over the total.
