*10* Total MASSACRE on OVER Heat/Wizards.

The Miami Heat will be looking for a mere second win in seven games when travelling to Washington to tip off against the Wizards Wednesday night. The Wizards have opened a five-game home-stand with a pair of high-scoring defeats to Boston and Portland, and this total looks a little low to me.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Heat's Injury Woes - Miami has the second stingiest defense in the league at 95.4 points per game, but the team is ravaged with injuries at the moment messing with the defensive organization.

2. The Wizards Offense - Washington has averaged 109.6 points per game over its past six and was held below 100 for the first time in that span in Monday's 108-98 loss to Portland.

3. X-Factor - Six of the past seven match-ups in the series have gone over the total.

Selection: This is a play on MIA@WAS to go OVER the total (10*)
