Miami -5 at Charlotte ($1.90)
Jumping all over Miami as small road favourites in Charlotte. The Heat are clearly the better team and they have built such an excellent record by thumping bad teams. The Heat have covered 8 of 10 against teams with a losing record. They have covered their last four on the road and 8 of 10 off a loss. Charlotte have failed to cover any of their last eight at home including four as an underdog.

Washington ($2.67) at Brooklyn
Cannot get into Brooklyn at such a short price on a back-to-back. They ended up with the win against the Knicks but were down by an astonishing 28 early. Washington are an excellent 31-13 against the spread on a back-to-back. Brooklyn are very poor favourites. Lots of value with the Wizards today.

Over 227.5 Houston-LA Clippers
All the way on the over here as is typically the way in Houston games. This is primarily because they are an abject mess defensively. The over has hit in 27 of 37 Rockets games and 13-3 when they are on a back-to-back. The over has hit in 10 of 13 Clippers games and 5 of 7 against losing teams.
