Premium Pick

The Philadelphia 76ers closed the season in championship form with 16 straight wins. They scored 108 points or more in all but 1 game (scored 101). At home this season, the Sixers allowed a very respectable 103.1 per game. At home this season vs. winning teams, they are 16-6 ATS. And, Philly is 25-11 ATS this season as a favorite in this range (3.5 to 9.5 points). Under Brett Brown, this team is 32-18 ATS as home chalk. All four of the games between these two teams this season saw the total come in below what is posted for game 1, and the total is jacked up because Philly has scored 108 or more in 15 of their last 16. The playoffs will have some extra intensity. Under Eric Spoelstra, the Heat are 104-73 to the UNDER as a dog in the 3.5 to 9.5 point range. Take Philly and the UNDER.
