Philadelphia 76ers win by 11+ (+175) over Miami Heat
Things are starting to go south in South Beach. The Heat have lost 4 games in a row and are on the verge of slipping out of the playoffs. It started with a 28-point loss to the Bucks in the first game after the all-star break and got worse when they suffered a 5-point loss to the young and undisciplined Hornets. Looking at a bigger sample size, the Heat have won just 3 of their last 9 games. But digging deeper, those 3 wins came against the Pacers, Rockets and Magic – 3 teams that aren't exactly heavy hitters. The root of their struggle is their offense, which has been one of the worst in the entire league. Miami averages the fewest points per game and has the second-worst shooting percentage of the 30 teams.
