Washington Wizards vs Miami Heat Prediction: Will Washington Surprise Us?

Prediction for the NBA Washington Wizards vs Miami Heat match which will take place on April 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

The Washington chances for the play-in have disappeared, and the team is finishing the season. Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma have been out for a long time, and Kristaps Porzingis, Monte Morris, and Denis Avdia will also not play against Miami. The role players can show themselves, a significant plus for the Wizards. Corey Kispert gets even more shots, and Kendrick Nunn has become a full-fledged part of the rotation. Delon Wright missed two previous games due to illness, but now he is ready to come back.

In the last match, the capital club suffered 4th defeat. This time, the Wizards did not cope with Atlanta – 116:134. On offense, Wes Unseld Jr.'s wards played well, but they could finish the attacks more effectively. Kendrick Nunn and Johnny Davis generally looked great, but both missed too often from the arc. The whole team eventually realized only 21.4% of long-range attempts.

The Heat is fighting to get into the playoffs, but catching up with Brooklyn in the two remaining games will be challenging. Miami recently lost another meeting to a team from New York. So now the Floridians need to win both remaining matches and hope for the mistakes of the leading opponent. Kyle Lowry will not play against Washington. Bam Adebayo played less than a day ago against Philadelphia, although his participation was questionable. 

Erik Spoelstra's wards still won the match with the Seven Sixers – 129:101. This victory was the 3rd in a row for Miami: before that, they won over Detroit and Dallas. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo made 16 of 23 shots from the game for two. Their efficiency played an important role. 

All three matches between Washington and Miami this season could have been more competitive because the oddsmakers gave a minimal total. The Wizards haven't been very good at defense lately, but they still have a great attack. Delon Wright could help enhance the situation in defense, and it will be easier for the capital club at home.
