The 76ers (42-47-1 ATS) are 5-0 SU in their last five games played on a Friday but are just 1-4 ATS in their last five. The total has gone OVER in four of Philadelphia’s last five matches when playing at home against Miami, even as the 76ers went 2-4 ATS in their last six outings played in May.

The Heat (51-37-1 ATS) went 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games and 6-1 SU in their last seven, even as the total has gone UNDER in six of Miami’s last seven matches. Miami pretty much dominated the first two games of the series at home but will need stronger performances from Jimmy Butler (21.4 points per game), Bam Adebayo (19.1 ppg, 10.1 rpg) and Sixth Man of the Year winner Tyler Herro (20.7 ppg) if the Heat want to move a win closer from reaching the conference finals.

Philadelphia should look at Game 3 as a must-win situation to avoid going into a 0-3 hole in the series. The status of MVP contender Joel Embiid, who averages 30.6 points and 11.7 rebounds during the regular season is filled with uncertainty among the 76ers, who will need more from All-Star guard James Harden (21.0 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 10.5 apg), Tyrese Maxey (17.5 ppg) and Tobias Harris (17.2 ppg, 6.8 rpg) to extend the series.

Final Predictions and Picks:

• Spread — 112 Miami Heat – 106 Philadelphia 76ers
  
• Over/Under — OVER 210 points
