Premium Pick
1 unit on Sacramento -8.5 (-105) (risk 1 to return 1.95)
Result:
LOSS

The recent glory years in Miami have been met with their new reality. The Heat are not a competitive team and at 10-26, their playoff hopes are pretty much dissolved. Sacramento is making slow progress, but at 16-20, the Kings are at least a year away from any playoff aspirations. At -8.5, the Kings match their largest spread to take down, as they beat the Lakers at home by 24 points as an -8.5 favorite. The Kings are slowly developing an attitude to win the games at home they are supposed to win. The wear and tear of losing has really hit the Heat, who have dropped eight straight on the road, and just don't seem to have the will and drive away from home at this stage of the season. Lay the points on Sacramento.
