The 76ers are coming into this game with a 41-35 record this season and they have won their last 2 games. They are coming off of a win against the Thunder in their last game and they won that game by 4 points at home with Joel Embiid making his return to the lineup. They were trailing for most of that game but the 76ers came up big in the 4th quarter to take the lead and win the game by 4 points in the end. Now they are going on the road here and they will have a boost with Embiid back in the lineup, but even with Embiid playing, they were never a dominant team on the road earlier this season and they are going to struggle here as they are still banged up with some other players who have injuries. They are going up against a Heat team that is 42-33 this season and they are pushing themselves up the standings right now as they are trying to secure a playoff spot and avoid the play-in tournament. They have been heating up in their recent games as they have won their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games. The Heat are also going back on the road after this game so they will be hungry to take advantage of another chance to pick up a home win against a banged up 76ers team that has not fully adjusted to Embiid being back in the lineup. The Heat will also be trying to get revenge here since they lost the last meeting between these two in Philadelphia in a game that both Embiid and Butler were missing in. Butler is going to get up for this game at home against the 76ers and now that the Heat have creeped up into 6th place in the last playoff spot, they are going to be hungry to keep pushing themselves up in the top 6. The Heat are going to cover the spread in this game.
