The Miami Heat (33-41) visit the Washington Wizards (16-58) on Monday, March 31, 2025, at the Capital One Arena.

That lowly 10-game losing streak is now a thing of the past for the Heat. They've won their last four games, including one against Jimmy Butler III and the Golden State Warriors. Tyler Herro has been superb on offense, but it is on defense that Miami is doing damage.

During their current four-game winning streak, the Heat has improved their defensive rating to 108.4. They allowed opponents an average scoring output of 99.5 points, which is excellent defense in today's NBA. Already a Top 12 defense, the Heat has turned it up a notch on that end of the floor.

It's safe to say that the Wizards, who are 30th in the league in offensive rating, have their hands full against the Heat's defense. The Wizards have lost seven of their last eight games. During that span, they only managed to put up 107.6 points per game.

With the Heat's tight defense and the Wizards' faltering offense, this is shaping up to be a low-scoring contest. That has been the case in their first two matchups this season, both of which the Heat won.

Our Miami Heat vs Washington Wizards Prediction

In the last four games, the Heat held their opponents to only 99.5 points. Their defense will surely hold against a Wizards team that's been struggling to put up buckets. In fact, the Wizards only scored 107.6 points in the last eight games.

Moreover, these two teams averaged a combined 206 points in their first two matchups this season. This could be another low-scoring affair between the two Eastern Conference squads. Our prediction for the Washington Wizards vs Miami Heat match is: under 221.5.
