Heat vs 76ers Prediction
The 76ers are as healthy as they’ve been in months; they’re winning games and they need to keep winning to get out of the play-in tournament. The Heat played last night and lost to the Pacers as double-digit favorites. The Heat have fallen apart over the last two weeks and it wouldn’t be surprising to see guys mentally check out. You’re seeing the body language lately and it’s not great. The rested team is in better form; the 76ers should roll here. I’ll lay the bucket with Philly.
