Philadelphia at Miami

The Philadelphia 76ers have lost their hold on the NBA Atlantic, and now trail the surging Celtics. The offense has struggled at times, but the defense has been their rock all season. Nine straight teams have failed to reach the century mark against them, and this sets up to be a low-scoring physical affair, and the bundle of points is too many in this type of contest. Miami is off their lowest scoring output of the season, as they were held to 72 points, suffering their third loss in five games. The Heat are suffering offensive blues as well. After scoring 100+ in eight of nine they have now scored 100+ in four of 16. The Sixers know a bit about defending this team as well holding them to 84 in the previous matchup. The Heat has been struggling vs. good teams at 3-8 ATS in their last 11 vs. a winning club. They have dominated the UNDER off a day of rest at 17-4 in their last 21.
