The red hot Portland Trail Blazers have won nine in a row and took down the reigning NBA champions Golden State Warriors 125-108 Friday night. They're 13-2-1 ATS in their last 16 home games and 5-0 ATS in their last five games playing on two days rest.

The visiting Miami Heat are coming off an impressive 129-102 drubbing of the Wizards on Saturday, but they're 0-4-2 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and this looks like an obvious let down spot on the road. We can also note that Miami C Hassan Whiteside (hip) sat out Saturday and is questionable for this contest.

The Blazers have covered the spread in four straight meetings in the series, including a 102-95 triumph at Miami on Dec. 13.

My selection is a 10* play on Portland Trail Blazers.
