Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
The Philadelphia 76ers are still ice-cold as they’ve lost 26 of their last 29 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest an 11-game losing streak after falling short to the Timberwolves in a 114-109 home defeat on Saturday. Quentin Grimes led the team with 28 points on 10 of 18 shooting, Guerschon Yabusele added 19 points while Lonnie Walker chipped in with 18 points. As a team, the 76ers shot 48 percent from the field and 12 of 35 from the 3-point line as they took the fight to the Timberwolves and played well to lead the game early in the fourth quarter. Before the Timberwolves went on a pivotal 12-0 run to snatch the game away in the end.
Miami Heat Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have been in great shape as they’ve won six of their last eight games overall. They will be eager to avoid a third straight defeat after getting beaten by the Bucks in a 121-115 overtime loss on Saturday. Bam Adebayo led the team with 31 points, 12 rebounds and five assists, Alec Burks added 24 points, Davion Mitchell tallied 20 points with five assists while Duncan Robinson chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Heat shot 42 percent from the field and 15 of 46 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and took an early 10-point lead. However, they couldn’t hold off the Bucks in the fourth quarter and then scored just four points in overtime to fall short at home. Pelle Larsson had a rough game as he shot just three points on one of eight shooting from the field.

- The Heat have failed to cover the spread in each of their last seven home games against Atlantic Division opponents after losing as favorites.

Heat vs 76ers Prediction
The 76ers are still missing a host of players including Joel Embiid, Paul George, Kyle Lowry and Tyrese Maxey, while the Heat are keeping eyes on Tyler Herro, Alec Burks and Andrew Wiggins who are all questionable for this one. The Heat were always going to open as heavy favorites despite the injury cloud hanging over them as the 76ers are just so severely depleted against almost every team at this point. The 76ers showed plenty of fight to hang with the Timberwolves in their last outing, but seven of their last 11 losses have been by double digits. These teams last met on Mar. 29, and it was the Heat who cruised to a 118-95 win. This is a game I would rather stay away from, but if I had to choose, I would lean with the Heat to get the blowout win at home.
