76ers at Heat picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 118, Heat 112
Moneyline
BET 76ERS (+116).
The Sixers should control this game, and they have the size to do just that.
Since returning from injury, C Bam Adebayo hasn't been as dominant. Adebayo has shot under 50% in all 3 games since he's been back. Miami is just 2-3 ATS over its last 5 games and 3-5 ATS over its last 8. It hasn't covered well at home either.
The Sixers have the dominated lately, winning 3 straight road games and having covered in 3 of their last 4 away from home. Philadelphia is 8-2 ATS over its last 10 games.
Against the spread
BET 76ERS +2.5 (-108).
If you feel a need for a little insurance, the price is not bad.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 225 (-110).
The 76ers have one of the most efficient offenses in the NBA and are 18-9-1 O/U this season. They are 10-3 O/U over the last 30 days. The Sixers have a few elite playmakers that should be able to get loose on a solid Heat defense.
Miami is 15-14 O/U this season and 4-1 O/U over its last 5 games. It has scored at least 115 points in 6 of its last 7 games. That said, back OVER 225 (-110).
