The Miami Heat have been looking good lately, they've won nine of their last 14 games and they will be going for a third straight victory after taking down the Pistons in a nice 104-101 road win last night. Duncan Robinson led the team with 30 points on 10 of 15 shooting, Bam Adebayo added 20 points with 17 rebounds and three assists while Terry Rozier chipped in with 17 points with nine assists. As a team, the Heat shot 44 percent from the field and 12 of 35 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 39 points in the second quarter to take a 17-point lead, but it wasn't exactly smooth sailing after that point as the Pistons tied the game late in the fourth quarter before Adebayo saved the day with a clutch 30-foot game winner to steal the game at the buzzer.

Now we look into this Philly team, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in a real slump as they've lost five of their last seven games overall, but they will be looking to build some momentum after snapping a two-game skid with a 109-98 home win over the Hornets on Saturday. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 30 points on eight of 20 shooting, Kelly Oubre Jr added 22 points on eight of 16 shooting while Buddy Hield chipped in with 14 points in 20 minutes off the bench. As a team, the 76ers shot 44 percent from the field and 13 of 41 from the 3-point line as they kept the Hornets in check right from the start, outpacing them in every quarter but never leading by more than 13 points at any stage. The 76ers will play against the Suns and Lakers after this game and need to grab as many wins as they can when they can!

There is times we look at lines and side with the books and times we go against the books and the books are simply telling us where to go in this game!The Heat are still banged up with Tyler Herro, Kevin Love and Jimmy Butler all listed on the IR and the 76ers are still obviously without Joel Embiid and they have Tobias Harris listed as questionable. The Heat haven't been playing their best lately and they've been hit hard by injuries, but they are coming into this one fresh off a really exciting win over the Pistons last night and are in far better shape then compared to the 76ers who have now lost five of their last six games before that win over the Hornets on Saturday. This is definitely a game where you want to check the lineups before tipoff, but this looks like a spot where the 76ers can take advantage of a Heat squad missing a bunch of key players and we should take advantage of the books telling us where to put our money tonight.
