Miami Heat Betting Preview

The Heat have been slipping below .500 over their last 10 games. Several of their wins in this stretch have been close, which could indicate they need improvement in key areas.

Tyler Herro leads their offense with 23.8 points and 5.4 assists per game. Bam Adebayo leads the team in rebounds with 10.0 per game, but also chimes in with 16.2 points each matchup. They both will need key performances to show consistency on offense.

Miami is 22nd in the league for averaging 110.7 points per game. On defense they rank seventh in allowing 110.6 points each game. This shows one of the narrowest margins in the league, which points to each game potentially being a toss up.

Per 100 possessions on offense, they rank 16th with a rating at 112.7. Their defensive efficiency per 100 possessions comes in at 10th, with a rating of 112.5. Their offensive pace is also at 96.8, which sits at 27th and is one of the slower teams out there.

Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview

The Sixers look completely different from a year ago, mainly due to Joel Embiid being out of the lineup for a majority of the season to injury. Over their last 10 games, they have struggled to reach above .500.

With Embiid back in the lineup, he could potentially be questionable if his knees are not back where they need to be. In limited action, he has averaged 24.4 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. Tyrese Maxey has taken control of the offense with 27.7 points and 6.0 assists each game.

Philadelphia has been averaging 109.1 points per game and ranking 25th. Their defense has given up 112.7 points per game and ranks 14th. With Embiid back in the lineup, this could begin to change this dynamic.

The Sixers’ offense per 100 possessions ranks 20th (112.0 rating) while their defense at the same rate ranks 22nd (115.7 rating). Their pace (96.5 rating) is also a bit slower at 28th compared to the Bulls.
