First, the San Antonio Spurs visit the Miami Heat. Later the <strong><a href=\"\/blog\/nba\/previews-lines-orlando-vs-la-free-prediction-14311\/\">Magic vs. Lakers<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Miami (45-21, 30-35-1 ATS) has emerged from last week\u2019s state of panic to win back-to-back games. The Heat had dropped five in a row, but they beat the Lakers 94-88 on Thursday and manhandled Memphis 118-85 on Saturday. Miami covered both of those games, ending a seven-game losing streak against the spread.<\/p>\n<p>The Heat got an absolutely absurd game from Dwyane Wade against Memphis. Wade is expected to deliver offensively, of course, and he did with 28 points and nine assists. But the star guard was impressive all over the court, as he added five blocks, five rebounds and three steals.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not the only one of the Big Three to pick up his play. Chris Bosh\u2014public enemy No. 1 when things go wrong in Miami\u2014has stepped up his game over the past two wins. Bosh dropped 24 points and nine rebounds on Los Angeles while scoring 18 points and grabbing 10 boards against the Grizzlies. Bosh has found his stroke and has hit 60 percent of his shots from the field in his last two games.   <!-- Affiliate Code Do NOT Modify--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 250px; margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_855\" alt=\"Online Sports Betting at Sportsbook\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><!-- End affiliate Code--><\/p>\n<p>If Miami can get a little healthier up front, Bosh\u2019s life will be even easier. Zydrunas Ilgauskas missed the Memphis game after suffering a foot infection (the lanky center stepped on a nail). He likely won\u2019t play tonight. There is help coming on the horizon, though. Udonis Haslem has sat out with a foot injury since November, but he\u2019s started shooting jumpers and could be in the lineup by the end of March.<\/p>\n<p>San Antonio (54-12, 37-27-2 ATS) has cruised to three straight victories, but the club isn\u2019t making NBA bettors any money. The Spurs have covered just three times in their last 11 games. They did manage to cover in Saturday\u2019s 115-107 win over the Houston Rockets.<\/p>\n<p>The Spurs are taking care of business because of a very balanced offense, and possibly the best bench in the NBA. San  Antonio had eight different players score in double figures against Houston, and the bench racked up 42 points. While Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan remain the core of the team, there are plenty of other Spurs pulling their weight.<\/p>\n<p>San Antonio already crushed Miami once this year, winning 125-95 on March 3. That was in the midst of Miami\u2019s meltdown, though, and the Heat have seemingly regained their focus. That said, San Antonio has fantastic depth\u2014far too much for Miami to handle. The bench will make the difference in this one, and the Spurs will steal a road win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SA are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games.<br \/>\nSA are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall.<br \/>\nSA are 20-8-2 ATS in their last 30 Mon. games.<br \/>\nOver is 10-2 in MIA last 12 vs. Western Conference.<br \/>\nMIA are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall.<br \/>\nUnder is 18-3 in the last 21 meetings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>San  Antonio at Miami pick<\/strong>: Spurs<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ian Van Den Hurk has covered amateur and pro sports for years, including a successful run handicapping anything from football to mixed martial arts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"nba PICKS\" href=\"\/sportscapping.php?schedule\/league_id,nba\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong>Want the best NBA Cappers Picks On The Planet?
