Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction

The Miami Heat are on the end of a back to back and fresh off an emotional walk off win over the Pistons. Possible letdown spot for the Heat. Also, Jimmy Butler is dealing with a foot issue. The Philadelphia 76ers should be favored because of home court and the rest advantage. With all that said, the 76ers have lost 6 of their last 10 games and are 3-6-1 ATS during that stretch. The 76ers are also still down Embiid, Covington and Melton, while Harris is questionable and Jones has also already been ruled out. The Heat have won 6 of the last 7 games against the 76ers. Give me the road dog.
