76ers vs Heat Prediction
The 76ers probably have the edge at home with an early start, but I’m rolling with the Heat. We’ve been on the Heat a lot this season and will continue to do so as long as the offense and pace continues to be one of the best in the league. The Heat are legit, and they’re also 11-5 ATS on the season. The 76ers are still dealing with constant lineup changes, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence they continue to be hit or miss. The Heat have won 4 straight games against the 76ers. Give me the Heat.
