Miami is 2-8 ATS the last 10 games which is only better than the San Antonio Spurs.<\/p>\n<p>They are also 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games, and unfortunately for Miami they haven\u2019t played Philly yet this season, but they\u2019ll make up for it as they play them tonight, Wednesday and then again on April 6.<\/p>\n<p>Adebayo will have to be lights out tonight to try and somehow neutralize Embiid, and they\u2019ll have to figure out something to do on the perimeter as opposing guards have thrived against them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Philadelphia Filling Up Win Column<\/h3>\n<p>The 76ers are piling up wins as they are 14-4 their last 18 with two of losses being to Boston. Maxey being moved to the bench has been working well as he gives a jolt of energy and offense, and Melton and Tucker have been solid on defense while Embiid and Harden have been dominant.<\/p>\n<p>Philly has been the second best team ATS this season (just behind the Thunder), and they are the #1 home team ATS this season.<\/p>\n<p>Their defense has been good recently and their defensive rating over the last 10 games has crept into the top 10, which bodes well playing against a Miami team that struggles to score.<\/p>\n<p>[coupon id=&#8221;15928&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: revert; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: revert; font-weight: revert;\">Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat Prediction<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>\n<div id=\"m_-6733600805250592746yiv1345337110ymail_android_signature\">\n<div id=\"m_2487218500054431067yiv8077418208ymail_android_signature\">\n<p>I\u2019m just struggling to find a reason to pick the Heat here as they are not in good form, they aren\u2019t covering games ATS on the road and they aren\u2019t scoring points.<\/p>\n<p>So I won\u2019t over think this one, and I\u2019ll take Philly -6.5. Miami getting blown out by Milwaukee when Giannis barely played, and then losing to Charlotte is a big red flag, and putting Kevin Love at the end of his career in the starting lineup is quite the desperate move.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s such a tough schedule for Miami that morale on this team seems to be getting lower with each loss. Miami is only averaging 104 points the last four games, that\u2019s not going to get it done against Philly. Lay the points with the 76ers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers -6.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3>Additional Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat Betting Analysis<\/h3>\n<p>Was the above information not enough or not what you&#8217;re looking for?

That interest in motor sports turned into a desire to make money off the sport through fantasy contests and sports betting. Like most, he took his lumps when he first got started, but now he is one of the most respected NASCAR bettors in the industry. Andy has expanded that sports betting experience to become profitable in a number of other sports, transforming this interest from a side hobby to a major source of income.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1848 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/basketba-300x151.png\" alt=\"NBA Basketballs\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/basketba-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/basketba-768x387.png 768w, https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/basketba.png 999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Looking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Latest Betting Odds and Public Action<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wt.buzz\/odds\" data-schema-attribute=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vegas lines<\/a> updated in real time, including who the public is betting on. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Last Minute Handicapping Advice<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">: Check out our extensive library of <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/sports-betting-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handicapping tips<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and advice from professional Vegas handicappers (we also recommend taking the time to look over our <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sports betting tips video library<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Want an expert opinion?<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> Check out the latest <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsmemo.com\/free-sports-picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noopener\">Free Sports Picks<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Best Bets<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> from our team of expert sports handicappers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Make sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat Betting Preview WagerTalk NBA handicapper Andy Lang offers his expert predictions and picks for tonight&#8217;s Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat battle from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA.

Miami is 2-8 ATS the last 10 games which is only better than the San Antonio Spurs.<\/p>\n<p>They are also 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games, and unfortunately for Miami they haven\u2019t played Philly yet this season, but they\u2019ll make up for it as they play them tonight, Wednesday and then again on April 6.<\/p>\n<p>Adebayo will have to be lights out tonight to try and somehow neutralize Embiid, and they\u2019ll have to figure out something to do on the perimeter as opposing guards have thrived against them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Philadelphia Filling Up Win Column<\/h3>\n<p>The 76ers are piling up wins as they are 14-4 their last 18 with two of losses being to Boston. Maxey being moved to the bench has been working well as he gives a jolt of energy and offense, and Melton and Tucker have been solid on defense while Embiid and Harden have been dominant.<\/p>\n<p>Philly has been the second best team ATS this season (just behind the Thunder), and they are the #1 home team ATS this season.<\/p>\n<p>Their defense has been good recently and their defensive rating over the last 10 games has crept into the top 10, which bodes well playing against a Miami team that struggles to score.<\/p>\n<p>[coupon id=\"15928\"]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: revert; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: revert; font-weight: revert;\">Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat Prediction<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>\n<div id=\"m_-6733600805250592746yiv1345337110ymail_android_signature\">\n<div id=\"m_2487218500054431067yiv8077418208ymail_android_signature\">\n<p>I\u2019m just struggling to find a reason to pick the Heat here as they are not in good form, they aren\u2019t covering games ATS on the road and they aren\u2019t scoring points.<\/p>\n<p>So I won\u2019t over think this one, and I\u2019ll take Philly -6.5. Miami getting blown out by Milwaukee when Giannis barely played, and then losing to Charlotte is a big red flag, and putting Kevin Love at the end of his career in the starting lineup is quite the desperate move.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s such a tough schedule for Miami that morale on this team seems to be getting lower with each loss. Miami is only averaging 104 points the last four games, that\u2019s not going to get it done against Philly. Lay the points with the 76ers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers -6.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3>Additional Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat Betting Analysis<\/h3>\n<p>Was the above information not enough or not what you're looking for?
