My Prediction
Miami Heat by 14Looking at the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat matchup, it's undeniable that the scales tip considerably towards the Miami side. The 76ers' performance has been less than stellar in their recent outings, with a defeat against Miami themselves on the roster. With a 23-55 record this season, they're staring at the #13 spot in the Eastern Conference, which doesn't make for rosy reading.
Two of the 76ers' players who could create a few waves are Quentin Grimes and Kelly Oubre Jr. Grimes, in particular, has been red-hot lately, clocking 25.9 points per game last month, quite a step up from his season average of 14.4. Oubre Jr. hasn't been far behind, with 15.3 points per game last month, passing his season tally of 15.1.
Matching up to the Heat is no easy feat though. They've got Tyler Herro, the man with fire in his shooting fingers, leading the charge by raking in 23.8 points per game last month. Andrew Wiggins and Bam Adebayo have also been on their A-game, together contributing an average of 41.2 points last month. The Heat's standing in the Eastern Conference at #10 tells a story of a stronger team, and their head-to-head record against the 76ers - winning 4 out of the last 5 - paints an even clearer picture.
If the past matchups and recent performances tell us anything, it's that the Heat are likely to bring the sizzle. Although anything can happen in this game of hoops, the safe bet here seems to be on the Miami Heat.
Albert’s Prediction: Miami Heat by 14.
