Miami heat
The Miami Heat enter this game on the third game of a road trip and back-to-back homecoming game after stealing a win against the Detroit Pistons. Bam Adebayo scored three points at the buzzer to avoid overtime in his last outing.
Jimmy Butler, Jovic and Kevin Love missed the game and their injury resolve should be questionable. I tend to think Butler will play and rest in the first leg in a tight schedule.
The Heat have obvious talent, health (and subsequently depth) and coaching advantage in this competition, but they are short on fielding and have a rest disadvantage.

Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers are currently in total freefall. They are 10-22 without Joel Embiid this season, which includes losing five of the last seven.
The only two recent wins are against the Charlotte Hornets, and a strange 79-73 victory against the New York Knicks.
The 76ers are also expected to be without Tobias Harris tonight, while key players Robert Covington and De’Anthony Melton continue to miss time as well.
It will be a Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre show, which is a tough task against Miami’s physical defense. Ultimately, I think the 76ers are bound to drop another one.

Betting picks and predictions
The gap for this game opened up at Heat +5, and he was quickly recovered and taken off the board. There has been significant momentum in Miami, probably also related to the news that Tobias Harris is expected to miss, and Jimmy Butler is likely back.
Now the spread is Miami Heat +2, and since it has passed some key numbers (5 and 4), getting +2 on the spread doesn’t have much value. One and two are the 11th and 8th most common outcomes in NBA games.
At this point, forgo the spread and simply take the +odds on the Heat ML.
Check again during filming for notes confirming Jimmy Butler’s participation. Remember, Butler had masterpieces in Philadelphia and headed to the locker room yelling, “Tobias Harris because of me?!”
