Our Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat Prediction

The 76ers are just about the hottest team in the NBA at present. Eight wins in a row have seen them claim the number 7 seed and home advantage in this monumental matchup. However, the Heat will represent a stern test for Philly, and are in good form themselves. We think the Heat will keep the game close for at least the first half, but ultimately the 76ers will be too strong and end up winning by a comfortable margin. We really like their chances of beating the spread so our prediction for 76ers vs Heat is: 76ers (-4.5) to win, 1.91 at BetMGM.

Prediction:

 

76ers (-4.5) to win
