Sitting On The Lock Of The Bay

Miami Heat (-12.5) OVER WASHINGTON WIZARDS (-110)
And then there was one. Seriously. I'm pretty sure that's how many players the Wizards will be dressing tonight. No John Wall or Yi. Gilbert Arenas was traded for Rashard Lewis, who won't be ready to suit up, yet. Andray Blatche and Josh Howard are questionable and will be limited, at best. But even if all these guys were healthy, the Heat should still win this game by 20. They have won their last eleven games and ten of those victories were by double-figures. Ten of those victories also came against teams better than the Wizards. Those seem like pretty good odds to me. So good, that in an alternate universe that may or may not be exactly like this universe, I may have put real money on this game and ensured a dramatic Wizards victory (okay...cover). Party hard, D.C!
