Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Season record: 39-20
The 76ers have been playing at a great level since the beginning of the year, as they come into this game with only one loss in their last seven games. This streak has allowed them to secure third place in the Eastern Conference, trailing the top team Celtics by 4.0 games. The team knows that they cannot afford many mistakes if they want to close the gap with the top teams.
Despite averaging 114.2 points scored per game, the 76ers have not been outstanding on offense. However, they boast two of the league’s best offensive players, Joel Embiid and James Harden, who average 33.1 points and 21.6 points scored per game, respectively. Harden also puts up an average of 10.7 assists per game.
Their great work in defense has been crucial to their success,as they are the third-best team in the NBA with an average of 110.4 points allowed per game.It is not surprising that they have allowed 110 points or fewer in eight of their last nine games.
Betting on the Miami Heat
- Season record: 32-29
The Heat, despite having a talented roster, have struggled to make their mark this season due to injuries. They are currently on a five-game losing streak and have dropped to seventh place in the standings, trailing 2.5 games behind the top six.
While their defense has been excellent, allowing an average of only 108.6 points per game (the second-best in the league), their offense has been the worst in the NBA, scoring an average of only 108.1 points per game with a shooting percentage of 45.0% from the field.
Despite their recent struggles, the Heat, leaders of the Southwest Division of the Easter Conference, could still be confident heading into this game, as they have a strong record of 19-10 at home and have won four of their previous five home games against the 76ers.
JefeBet Prediction
The 76ers are in a better shape than the Heat; however, they are two teams with very similar styles. They do not have great offenses, but are among the best in the league defensively, nonetheless.
The Heat may have a slight chance to pull off the upset here thanks to their defense, considering that the 76ers usually drop their production when they go on the road. Still, it will remain to be seen if the Florida side is finally able to have a good night on offense.
The games between these teams are usually very close, so we expect the defenses to be the ones who set the tone this time and leave us with a score with few points.
Prediction: Under.
