Heat at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 117, 76ers 110

Moneyline

The HEAT (+136) are worth a look as moderate underdogs despite the fact this is a game with no rest.

Miami has won 5 of the past 6 meetings in this series, including the past 3 visits to Philadelphia, one being Game 6 of their playoff series last season.

The 76ers (-162) have posted just 3 victories in the previous 11 games, as the offense has fallen apart since Joel Embiid went down with a knee injury that will keep him out until April.

Against the spread

The HEAT +4 (-110) is worth a look on the road in the City of Brotherly Love. Miami has cashed in 4 in a row, and 6 of the past 7 games. On the road, the Heat is 9-8-1 ATS in the past 18 games on the road.

The 76ers -4 (-110) have really struggled against the number, covering just 4 times in the past 13 outings.

Over/Under

OVER 223.5 (-110) has cashed in the past 2 meetings, including the Christmas Day battle in South Florida, and the most recent battle in Philly last April 6.

Be careful, though, as the total has gone low in 3 in a row for Miami, 7 of the past 8 outings, and 14 of the previous 17 contests.

For Philly, the Over has a 10-6 edge in the past 16 outings, including 5-2 in the previous 7 home contests.
