Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers Free Pick
Philadelphia has been dominant at home of late, winning five of their last six games. Miami Heat have not been at their best overall, covering the spread just once in five games. Now they head out on the road for the second consecutive contest and lack the firepower to keep up with Philadelphia – something which was evident when these teams met last month when Philadelphia ran away with a 119-96 victory at home. Philadelphia will be winning this game as predicted by the latest NBA betting odds.
Free Pick: Philadelphia 76ers -5.5 (-116)
