Heat vs. 76ers Preview
We're tempted to simply go against the Sixers, who really aren't the Sixers these days. But, as the Heat haven't won a road game in over a month, there might be an even better option.
With a lineup not much better than a G-League entry as injuries to Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey and others have stripped the roster bare, the Sixers have nobody left who can play much defense either.
Note that 13 of the Sixers' last 15 games have featured score lines that cleared 217.5 total points, and Philly has allowed a whopping 124 points per game in their 15 previous games this month.
Meanwhile, the Heat might be back on course with three straight wins, while showing enough offense lately to help this score line get to 218 or higher, and while Andrew Wiggins is out on Saturday with a hamstring, note that a rejuvenated Tyler Herro is scoring better than 28 points per game during their latest win streak. Let's take the Over.
Best Bet: Over 216 (-110)
Heat vs. 76ers Prediction
By Kyle Murray
The Heat's injury report is a hot mess right now. They have several players injured, and Andrew Wiggins and Duncan Robinson will miss this game. That should allow Alec Burks to get back into the starting lineup and see some solid usage.
Even when being fairly conservative and projecting him for just 26 minutes, I have Burks projected for 18.9 PRA, but there is a real chance he plays 30+ minutes, as Jaime Jaquez (drama) and Terry Rozier (more drama) have both been seemingly cut from the rotation as of late.
Pick: Alec Burks Over 14.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (+100)
