Philadelphia at Miami

The Miami Heat took the court in the opener against Philadelphia with the look of a team that just had to show up and get the win. They spotted Philadelphia a 14-point lead before taking a 16-point lead themselves (a 30-point turnaround). The truth is, when the Heat started playing, the Sixers saw a 14-point lead turn into a 16-point deficit. I look for Miami to come out strong in this one. The Sixers have had issues of late vs. winning teams, getting the money in just four of their last 13. They have also had trouble keeping their good opponents from scoring as they are 11-3 to the OVER on the road vs. a winning team in their last 14. The Heat is now at 13-6 to the OVER vs. a team with a losing road record in their last 19. Play Miami and the OVER in this one.
