Philadelphia enters this matchup looking to snap its 11-game losing streak with its depleted roster. Meanwhile, the Heat enters this matchup hoping to get back on track after cooling down from its recent winning streak in a big way with back-to-back losses. Regardless, expect both teams to put forth their best effort to get back in the win column.

76ers vs Heat Best Bet: 76ers +14.5
The 76ers enter this matchup as heavy underdogs on the road, and considering the number of injuries on Nick Nurse’s roster, it doesn’t come as a surprise. However, despite their poor record and laundry list of an injury report, Philadelphia’s coaching staff has done a good job throughout the season putting their reserve players in the mindset to continue playing hard. Although I don’t see any scenario in which Philadelphia steals a win on the road, it wouldn’t shock me if the Sixers kept the deficit under 15 points.
76ers vs Heat Best Total Bet: Over 214
Miami leads the season series against the 76ers 3-0 entering this matchup. In their most recent battle, the Heat steamrolled the Sixers 118-95 in a one-sided scoring bout. It wouldn’t be shocking to see the game script unfold similarly this time, with Miami doing most of the scoring to exceed the 214-point set total. However, I like the chance that Philadelphia keeps this matchup closer. A final score of 121-109 seems like a realistic outcome.
76ers Best Player Bet: Lonnie Walker IV 20+ Points +420
After spending most of the season overseas, Lonnie Walker IV signed with the 76ers in the buyout market. The fact that the versatile guard couldn’t find a spot on an NBA roster was a head scratcher to many, including himself. Since joining Philadelphia, the Miami product continues to carry that chip on his shoulder, looking to prove his doubters wrong. Considering Walker IV is coming off an 18-point performance and returning to the area where he played college basketball, I like the chance that the playmaker puts together a big performance on the road.
Heat Best Player Bet: Tyler Herro 4+ Threes +172
Tyler Herro is undoubtedly one of the best shooters in the league, and he proved that this season by winning the 2025 3-point Contest at NBA All-Star Weekend. The Kentucky product is shooting 37.3% from downtown, averaging 8.9 attempts from beyond the arc per game. Fresh off a 35-point night in his last matchup, where he drained four threes, I can easily see the Heat star putting together a strong shooting night to help lift his team over Philadelphia.
