Why the Miami Heat will win

- The Heat have won eight of their last nine home games against the 76ers following a road loss.
- The Heat have covered the spread in nine of their last 10 games as favorites following a loss.
- The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight night games against Eastern Conference opponents.

- Five of the 76ers’ last six games have gone UNDER the total points line.
Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers have lost 8 of their last 9 games and could continue to be without Embiid and Maxey. The 76ers have been held under 100 points in 3 of their last 6 games. The Miami Heat are on the end of a back-to-back, but they’re back home and there’s a good chance Butler returns, as he was upgraded to questionable for Sunday’s game. I just don’t trust the 76ers with their key players in and out of the lineup and the fact the offense is really struggling. Assuming the Heat are as healthy as they’ve been in a while, I’ll lay the chalk.
