This is a big test for the first place 76ers to see how good they really are, heading to South Beach. Philadelphia has been great at home, but just 4-3 on the road. They've split the last two games, winning last night against Atlanta, but getting beat by Denver 94-82, both at home. It's a big test as Miami is tops in the NBA in scoring and is great at home. The Heat is 4-1 ATS in their last five home games, 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. This is the third straight home game for Miami and they have been up to the challenge, ripping the Spurs (120-98) two games ago and shutting down the Lakers in their last game (98-87). They have opened up the offense more and are red hot from long range, as in its past six quarters the Heat is 21 of 33 from long distance. Mike Miller, in his first game back from a sports hernia procedure, connected on all six of his three-point attempts against the Spurs, is a significant addition. Dwyane Wade is still out, but Miami is 5-0 without him, 5-4 with him. Miami has had a full day of rest while the 76ers had to play last night, so grab the red-hot and rested home team. Play the Miami Heat.
