Preview

Miami Heat will meet Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday in Miami, this will be the third encounter between both teams as the Heat won the first game in Philadelphia 101-96 and then the 76ers won the second game in Miami 109-98 So the road team have won both games in this series so far, they also will face again in 2 days after this game.

Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a come back win over Cleveland Cavaliers 125-119 with Maxey scoring 33 points, Harden scoring 25 points and Embiid scoring 22 points. The 76ers have been playing really well with James Harden coming into the Line Up as they have won last 5 games this season and winning 8 of last 10 games, the 76ers are the healthiest team in the league right now and it's tough to bet against them in their current form.

Miami Heat are coming off a big win over Brooklyn Nets on the road 113-107 even without Butler and Tucker! In a game that Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro went off to get the Win for the Heat. Miami have been in their best form this season winning 10 of their last 12 games even though they aren't that healthy with all the Questionable players every game. Miami will need Jimmy Butler to play in this game to have a better chance of beating this Philadelphia team.

Philadelphia 76ers are 5-0 straight up last 5 games and 4-1 ATS in those 5 games, Over is 6-0 last 6 for the 76ers, Philadelphia are 12-2 straight up last 14 road games, Over is 5-0 last 5 games for the 76ers against Teams from the Eastern Conference.

Miami Heat are 5-1 straight up last 6 games and 4-1 ATS last 5 games, Miami are 1-5 ATS last 6 home games, Heat are 10-2 straight up last 12 games this season, the Over is 6-1 in the last 7 games for Miami against opponents from the Atlantic Division and the Over have hit in 7 of last 9 Saturday games for Miami.

Philadelphia 76ers don't have any injuries, On the other hand Miami Heat have a lot of Questionable players ( Butler, Strus, Tucker and Martin ) while K.Lowry, V.Oladipo and M.Morris are still Out for the heat.

Head to Head

Miami Heat won 6 of last 10 games vs Philadelphia 76ers and also covered the spread in 6 of those games, Miami won first game between them this season by 5 points then Philadelphia won the second game by 11 points. O/U is 6-4 last 10 games with Miami averaging 111.7 points and Philadelphia averaging 109.9 points a game.

Prediction

Picking a side here would be so difficult as both teams are playing extremely well at the moment, but I like the Over in this game as all Philadelphia's games have been heading that way in the last few games especially with James Harden playing and Miami also have had a lot of Overs lately although they are considered a top defensive team. Give me the Over here.

Pick: Over 220.5 Points (-110)
