Ok look at it this way. Heat has home advantage, Portland have a poor away record and one the third game of a road trip that messes with sleep, eating and body rhythm.
A line of 9 or oabove everyone would take the heat, at -2 9% would play Portland thus the line is at a happy medium to get equal action.
If you are confused that is the intention. To understand the line you must stop thinking as a public player, when you say the line is begging the public to play Portland, remember the Heat was blown out v a strufggling Bulls team.
I havent looked at the line but I will place my money with the form side Portland.

the opening line was far from "right"......opened at 3.5, the same number that the 15-22 Bulls were laying to the Heat in the last game.....line is definitely suspect....Miami or no play, with "no play" probably being best
