Analysis
Let's all remember that the Miami Heat ended up being the best team in the Eastern Conference last year. Yes, they lost a couple of guys. But, they've still got the main group of guys and the same head coach who happens to be one of, if not the best coach in the NBA in Eric Spoelstra. Looking at the 76ers, they actually have won eight consecutive games. That's surprising as they still ended up in the play-in tournament position. Don't get me wrong, they played a big portion of the season without their best player in Joel Embiid. However, they haven't been all that great in a couple of circumstances. Those include an 0-3 ATS record following a game where they allowed less than 90 points. Also, they are just 5-10 ATS this season after playing a divisional game. The Heat, on the other hand, seem to come to play when it switched to the playoffs. They've been a top team in the East for a while now. Miami is 7-1 ATS this season after playing three straight home games. Miami is also looking for revenge after losing to the 76ers earlier this month. I'll take the points here. Score Prediction: 114-107 Heat
