76ers vs. Heat Odds & Betting Predictions - November 19, 2024

🔑 Sixers ML +152 (FanDuel) 2u I can’t quit them. I think Embiid will play and again, they can’t just keep losing. A bad reason to take them but this value is just too good.

Read full writeup on X: https://x.com/PicksOffice Slow pace, offensive struggles, and low efficiency define this matchup. Philadelphia’s weak offensive rating worsens without Maxey, and Embiid’s potential return slows tempo further. Miami’s strong rebounding limits Philly's second chances, while their inconsistent shooting dips on back-to-backs. Historical trends favor defensive battles, with poor shooting and pacing aligning with an under pick.

Going back to this. His minutes increased to 32 minutes last game which surprised me, but I’m expecting a similar workload here. Tough individual matchup against Bam and we’ve seen Jared McCain take on a larger role on offense than any of us expected. Also helps us that Embiid is carrying a Questionable tag due to illness in case that hampers him a bit. Playable on Sleeper or Underdog.

Embiid still doesn’t look 100% healthy or off of his minutes restrictions and now gets a brutal matchup against Bam Adebayo and the Heat. Bam has contained Joel well over the past few seasons and he has gone under this 24.5 line in 7/9 games while averaging a touch over 22 points per game. Those are games on normal minutes and with relative health. In 20 career games H2H, Embiid has exceeded 24.5 points in just 5/20. Given the restrictions and the health coupled with the matchup of two teams playing at the bottom third in Pace and I’ll grab under 24.5 points.
