<h2>
Reasons To Back Miami<br />
</h2>
<p>
Miami makes fewer mistakes with the basketball as they commit fewer turnovers compared to their opponents who will be instrumental in this contest. Moreover, Miami's defense makes them a potent threat in any match they step into as they are ranked third in the NBA in scoring (105.7 points per game) and opponent field goal percentage (44.3%). When you combine this narrative with Miami's massive edge in bench play (Miami's bench scores 43.2 points per game compared to Philly's that averages just 32.9 bench points per game), the Heat are primed to not only cover but orchestrate an upset.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Philadelphia<br />
</h2>
<p>
The stock was high on the 76ers as they entered into the All-Star Break. Some have called this team a Finals-worthy contender and have even gone as far as to say that they can dethrone the Golden State Warriors from their perch as two-time defending champion. Such hyperbolic language can inflate the perception of a team and subject takers to an overlay as a result. When Philly's recent successes against Miami along with their profitability are taken into consideration, that propensity is that much greater.

Heat at 76ers Prediction 02/21/2019

For those that feel bold, the Heat may actually be worth a look here on the Money Line (+225) as an upset could very well be in the making. Be that as it may, there are more than enough points on the table here for the Heat to cover as their smothering defense will afford them to chance to slow down Philly’s high-powered offense (115.9 points per game – 3rd in the NBA) and make this a four-quarter game.
