The Miami Heat (8-11) are coming off their first win in five games heading into tonight. Interestingly, the team they beat to snap their losing streak was none other than tonight's opponents, the Washington Wizards (10-8).

The Wizards will no doubt be looking to redeem themselves and get some revenge on the court tonight. They were on a 6-1 run before suffering an upset against the Heat on Wednesday night.

A win here should help get them back on track and regain the momentum they've enjoyed in most of their recent games after a hit-and-miss start to the season.

Washington Wizards vs. Miami Heat Betting Prediction

The Heat are coming into this one with injuries from top to bottom across the team. It's a worrying state to be in and one that'll likely only get worse as the season goes on. Either players will risk getting further hurt on the court, or they'll sit out more games, further handicapping the team's overall strength until they return.

Despite the Miami outfit's physical setbacks, the Wizards are still the underdogs coming into tonight thanks to their loss to the Heat earlier this week. While the Wizards have some injury woes of their own, they're nothing compared to the Heats. Coupled in with the Wizards' comparatively better run this season, an upset seems likely tonight.

Prediction: Washington Wizards +5 (-107)
