76ers vs Heat prediction

The Heat are putting together a nice week as they’re fighting to stay out of the play-in tournament. The 76ers got Embiid back in their last game, but he’s questionable for this contest. Harris, Maxey, and Bamba are questionable for the 76ers as well. The Heat are as healthy as they’ve been in quite some time as Herro is the only questionable player. The Heat have won 6 of the last 8 games against the 76ers. Big game for both the Heat and 76ers in terms of clinching a top-6 seed in the East. I give the edge to the Heat because of health, home court and past meetings between the teams.
