    I kind of like the Heat in this spot. I think they try and take out their recent frustrations on an old Spurs team at home. 7.5 is a lot of pts though.

    Like the Heat to cover in this spot. Spurs without Manu...Heat without Wade. Miami has the perimeter D to frustrate Parker, Spurs have no other playmakers who can create their own shot. Like Bosh to play well in this spot...using that jump shooting game to keep Duncan out of the paint and open lanes for Lebron. Miami has been playing poorly and losing Wade should increase the sense of urgency, not that it makes them better, but I think they really get up for this game. Reference the game last year between these teams in Miami...which was a huge rout in Miami's favor.

    Like heat 1q / 1h but can you really trust them in the 4th quarter after their last few games? They struggle to win SU let alone win by 8

    That being said with their recent struggles they could come out and smash the spurs by 30.

    NoCoin what are your thoughts on the Nuggets and Bucks?

    Bucks are unbeaten at home and the Nuggets have been up and down. The line reminds me of the Spurs at the Bucks a week or so ago.

    I've taken the Bucks in this spot too often in the past to go to that well again.

    I thought about it, then passed. Bucks killed me at home as a short dog vs. the Nuggets last season. Had a big play on them and they didn't deliver.

    I see everything pointing to be a big Heat win. Heat are just far too athletic for the old legs of the Spurs. And Spurs have been absolutely horrible on the road. And the Heat haven't been home in over a week, they'll be anxious to play in front of their fans.

    Don't worry I remember the game. A nice low scoring affair which suited the Bucks but they just couldn't get it done down the stretch. Typical stuff from them.

    I do like Leonard though.

    He's going to be a beast.

    In Bet365 the line droped by one point, Heat -6.5 -110

    But look at very interesting bet,Heat to win HF and FT @ 1.74 (lead by one at the half and win the game whithout hc)..

    If forced to choose I actually like the Spurs here. They sukk on the road but Heat struggle vs better comp & haven't been playing well. Seven is alot of points too. I'm not betting this game & wouldn't be shocked to see it go either way but Wade hurts Heat more than Manu does Spurs. Spurs have played well w/o Manu.

    Tough game IMO

    only thing you have to worry about is the Heat looking forward to the Fakers on thursday.

    The Heat love beating up on that overrated team and Wade also owns Kobe head-to-head. So they may be keeping wade out of this one to embarrass kobe on thursday. Heat were 2-0 vs Fakers last year and are something like 13-6 ATS in their last 19 matchups (and the Heat have a winning record SU in the last 19)

    I liked this Spurs game a lot a couple of days ago but am a little more reserved knowing Wade is out (i dont care about their record without Wade in the lineup as they were going to pummel the spurs if the Heat were totally healthy) , and LeBron battling a cold (though lebron did play fantastic basketball last year with flu like symptoms).

    That's different then "garbage team" I hardly bet on the Heat. Just some situations when they are underdogs. I bet the ML. Just so we are straight.
