Heat at 76ers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
76ers 122, Heat 103
Money line (ML)
The Heat (+400) are expected to have to play with eight players, as one player has tested positive for COVID-19, and several others are out due to contact tracing protocol. The 76ers (-550) are very familiar with the process, as they just went through a bout of it.
AVOID, and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread (ATS)
The 76ERS -10.5 (-110) are a good play since the Heat +10.5 (-110) will be so shorthanded. These teams just played an epic 137-134 overtime battle on Monday, and now they run it back Wednesday with Miami very limited. Look for Philly to take advantage of the absences and rout the visitors.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 223.5 (-110) is the play, as Philly should be able to roll up plenty of points against the eight Miami is able to roll out. The two teams combined for 271 points last time out. Still, Philly should do enough to push this one over the finish line.
