Heat at 76ers picks and predictions
Prediction
Heat 111, 76ers 104
Moneyline
BET HEAT (+115).
Miami has won back-to-back games, both on the road, and is 5-5 in its last 10. It has held opponents under 101 points in each of its last 3 and is 20-15 on the road this season.
It faces a Philadelphia team that has lost 2 of its last 3 and is still feeling the impact of a variety of injuries. It has scored 95 or fewer in 3 of its last 5, and beyond Maxey, it has struggled to find a scoring substitute for Embiid.
Against the spread
PASS.
The odds are better on the Heat to win outright.
Over/Under
BET OVER 209.5 (-110).
While both teams have struggled to score recently, with a line as low as 208.5, the Over should be a no-brainer. The Heat have scored 104 or more in 7 of their last 10, while the 76ers have scored 105 or more in back-to-back games.
Neither team is at full strength; however, each team has multiple players who are able to contribute towards the Over. While it may not be pretty, both teams are more than capable of scoring.
