This is a bet that is more predicated on gut feel than actual analysis. Often times we get so caught up in finding the statistically best play we ignore what we feel will actually happen. Miami is struggling hard right now losing seven straight games, they need a big game from their best player.
Sacramento Kings vs. Miami Heat Prediction
Jimmy Butler is tough to usually bet on in the regular season. He likes to coasy by and then turn up in the playoffs. On a seven game losing streak, we may see a more motivated than usual Jimmy Butler. He has hit this in his last two games with 26 and 28 points. I expect the scoring to stay high to try to get Miami back in the win column.
The matchup is ideal against Sacramento. The Kings play fast and don’t defend wings that well. Additionally, they allow the fewest points to Centers so Bam Adebayo shouldn’t be red hot taking opportunities from Jimmy. This game has a close spread so hopefully no blowout nonsense and Jimmy plays big minutes. Let's roll!
