The Heat have owned the 76ers this year, winning both matchups convincingly. Miami is a real contender to win the East. What are the 76ers? Not real contenders. I’d even take money line here also.
Robinson has owned the Sixers, going 5/7 from 3 in one meeting and 5/10 in the other. Philly will have trouble controlling the Heat inside/outside game and Robinson will get plenty of looks as Miami guards and forwards drive to the lane then kick back out. No shortage of volume, with 12+ attempts in 4 of the last four games, emerging from a mini slump. Made 11 of 24 in two games at Detroit and another 5+ night from behind the arc would not surprise me in this match-up
Love the way Bam picked up his game this last week and this has been a great matchup for him, going for 36 P+R and 41 in two games vs Philly. Even if Jimmy Butler returns, playing through Bam in the post against a wounded Sixers team has served them well and Bam seems to have taken his recent rebounding dip personally, dragging the Pistons for 17 Sunday. Bam has double digit rebounds in 4 of the last 5 and had 9 in the other game. I project him to score 22+ tonight as well. Game should stay close enough that his minutes don't tail off dramatically in second of back-to-back outings.
Jimmy Butler was out Sun with a foot bruise but it doesn't sound terribly serious and maybe he's back. Either way the Heat beat the Sixers twice already - including one at Philly - and Butler and Terry Rozier missed both games and Jovic missed the first as well. Bam dominated both games with no Embid. Miami has shot well from range vs PHI and MI 20-12-2 ATS on road and 14-8 as road dog. PHI 2-5 ATS last 7 and 3-9 SU in their last 12 at home. Heat might have been holding back vs lowly Pistons Sunday. Either way can win this if undermanned
