The 76ers keep on impressing and are looking unbeatable on home court. They have only lost twice on home court since Christmas Day. Embiid has already been ruled out with Philly still yet to drop a game without their All-Star big man.
The Heat have their own issues with their big man in Whiteside. Only putting up 2 points in Game 1, he was basically non existent in 12 minutes which has been an ongoing trend all season. With Embiid missing, Whiteside becomes a liability against a small lineup.
Keep riding the Philly train.
Best Bet = Philadelphia -6.5

| Golden State | Over | Golden State |

With Kawahi still MIA, the Spurs have no real chance of causing an upset at Oracle. Their road record has been non-Spurs like dropping the last 9.
The Warriors have only lost one of their last 9 against the Spurs where the lineup boasted all bench players aside from Draymond. It’s safe to say the trend will continue with the Over also looking convincing.
Best Bet = Golden State -9.5
