Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers: Preview

Miami Heat Preview

The Heat are limping toward the finish line of the regular season after consecutive gut-wrenching defeats to Memphis and Milwaukee, both of which were decided in the final seconds. Even with a recent six-game winning streak, Miami is 10th in the East and scrambling for a spot in the play-in bracket. Erik Spoelstra’s crew will try to get back in a groove with a fourth consecutive victory over the Sixers — a team they’ve already beaten twice this season. The absence of those key players (and Herro) could hurt, but this is inarguably a winnable game.

Heat Starters: Burks, Larsson; Robinson, Adebayo; Ware

Philadelphia 76ers Preview

It’s been a season to forget for the 76ers, who enter Tuesday’s matchup on an 11-game losing streak and beset by injuries. With Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George all off for the season, Philly has turned to Quentin Grimes — who is still balling with 28 points in his last game. The Sixers, who sit 13th in the East, are in the process of being eliminated from playoff contention, and Tuesday’s matchup is one that’s come down to pride and developing players instead of winning.

76ers Starting Lineup: Grimes, Butler; Walker, Yabusele; Bona

Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers Player Props

1. Quentin Grimes Over 22.5 Points @ -108 (FanDuel) – Grimes had been one of the few bright spots, averaging 24+ points in his last five games. With the Sixers missing quite a few bodies, expect another big night scoring-wise.

2. Bam Adebayo Over 10.5 Rebounds @ -110 (BetMGM) — Adebayo is the line of scrimmage in the paint and should dominate a depleted Philly frontcourt.

Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers Final Prediction

Despite their own struggles, the Heat are so much more deep and motivated than a 76ers team without the services of Embiid. Prediction: Miami wins 20-13Miami will play in a scrappy, low-scoring game, but ultimately Miami takes care of business at home.

We are backing the Miami Heat to win and for the total match points to be under 222.5.
