Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Points Under 220 – 1.678.
The Heat probably won’t be able to resist the Sixers. Spoelstra’s men are too shaky right now. The visitors probably won’t be able to put up much of a fight.
The Heat has not been impressive in recent games. Against the Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets and Milwaukee Bucks, they did not score more than 105 points. It’s unlikely that they’ll be able to do better now since the 76ers have a good defensive game. With that in mind, we think the 218.5-point mark is unlikely to be broken.
The Philadelphia 76ers really wanted to win against the Celtics, but lost by a three-point margin (107-110) at home. Still, the 76ers lack a third strong mainstay player to seriously contend for the lead in the East.
Embiid and Harden combined for 62 points. Harris turned out to have 19 points under his belt, but he is just a good player who is limited to his role on the floor.
At the moment, the 76ers have 39 wins and 20 losses. In the game against Miami, no one guarantees an easy life, but with all that said, the 76ers could well win without nerves if they cover Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo.
The 76ers are averaging 114.2 points per game this season.
The Miami Heat can’t win four games in a row, which is as uncharacteristic of Spoelstra’s team as possible. They have to get out of this sudden crisis.
There was some apathy in the last meeting against the Charlotte Hornets (103-108), although Herro scored 33 points and Butler had 28 points to his credit.
The Heat currently has 32 wins and 29 losses. That puts the club from Florida in seventh place in the conference. The East Coast club has won two of the last three meetings against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Heat is averaging 108.1 points per game this season.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Philadelphia 76ers: James Harden – De’Anthony Melton – Tobias Harris – P.J. Tucker – Joel Embiid.
Miami Heat: Tyler Herro – Gabe Vincent – Jimmy Butler – Kevin Love – Bam Adebayo.
Only Dewayne Dedmon (Out) is injured for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Kyle Lowry (Out), Nikola Jovic (Out), Omer Yurtseven (Out), Tyler Herro (Day-to-day) and Kevin Love (Day-to-day) are injured for the Miami Heat.
The fixture will be played at Wells Fargo Center (21.000) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
This starting whistle will sound on the 28th of February, 2023, at 00:00 UK Time.
