Heat at 76ers picks and predictionsPrediction
76ers 121, Heat 115
BET 76ERS (-118).
While the Heat have played well and covered often at home, they are just 4-4 ATS and 3-5 straight up on the road. Despite improving lately, the Heat have allowed at least 130 points in 4 of their last 7 games.
The 76ers are 5-3 at home this season, and they have their star player, Maxey, active and healthy in this one. Six-time All-NBA F Paul George has returned and will be available. Expect the more talented Philadelphia team to win this one.
Back 76ERS (-118).
PASS.
While the spread is playable here, the Heat have had 3 of 16 games end within a 2-point margin, so they play close games. Take the lesser-risky option and play the home side to win outright.
BET UNDER 238.5 (-110).
This is a high total for a complete clash of pace. The Heat rank No. 1, and the 76ers rank 26th of 30 teams in pace. Given the expected outcome, Philadelphia should have their style of play slow down Miami and lead to fewer scoring chances.
The Heat are 1-2 O/U in their last 3 games, while the 76ers are 1-5 O/U in their last 6 contests. Considering those trends, back UNDER 238.5 (-110).
