NBA Picks & Predictions for Wednesday, December 8, 2010
By Drew Sharper
SALT LAKE CITY, UT (TheSpread) – The Miami Heat look to avenge a prior loss and continue their win streak on Wednesday night when they take on the Utah Jazz. Here is a breakdown of my pick for the game.
Miami is 14-8 on the season and 4-5 on the road. The Heat have won five straight entering this game. Utah is 16-6 on the year and 9-4 at home. The Jazz have won 8 of their last 10 games.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook Sportsbook.com have released their odds for this game and they have made the Jazz a 1-point favorite at home. The over/under has been set at 189 points. Here are some trends to consider and my pick for tonight’s game:
Miami Heat vs. Utah Jazz, 9PM ET
The Heat are 10-2 against the spread in their last 12 games against the Jazz and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 in Utah. The Heat are on a roll and playing like the team many expected them to be. I like a pick of the Heat plus the point on Wednesday night.
