This is a 10* TOP SIDE on the 76ers.

It's do or die for Philadlephia tonight. Essentially anyways. The Heat have been the better team in this series, in large part though due to the fact that 76er's star center Joel Embiid has been sidelined with injury.

If Embiid does somehow manage to suit up today (or in Game 4), he'll be far from 100 percent healthy.

So that means that the responsibility to try and salvage this series falls onto the shoulders of Embiid's supporting cast.

James Harden has only averaged 18 PPG over the first two games, but we can expect Philly to game-plan around the offensive star today. Tyrese Maxey was a bright spot in defeat last time out with 34 points.

Miami is getting solid play across the board, but note that Miami is interestingly just 2-7 ATS in its last nine after a 15 points or greater SU/ATS home win.

I say the 76ers avoid the 0-3 hole and the shift to friendly confines is the difference-maker.

Grab the points, the play is PHILADELPHIA.

Good luck, NP
