Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction 3/29/25 NBA Picks

The Miami Heat invade the Wells Fargo Center to battle the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. Here’s a Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction. This article will include a Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers Pick.

The Miami Heat are starting to turn things around as they are now gunning for a fourth-straight victory after outlasting the Hawks in a 122-112 home win on Thursday. Tyler Herro led the team with 36 points on 13 of 17 shooting, Andrew Wiggins and Davion Mitchell scored 16 points each, while Bam Adebayo chipped in with 12 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and three steals. As a team, the Heat shot 53 percent from the field and 18 of 33 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 38 points in the second quarter to overcome an early 14-point deficit. Before they put the game to bed early with another push in the third quarter to lead by as many as 21 points. The Heat will play against the Wizards and Celtics following this one.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in a real slump as they have won 21 of their last 24 games overall, and they will be hoping to arrest a six-game slide after falling just short to the Wizards in a 119-114 home defeat on Wednesday. Quentin Grimes led the team with 22 points, and Guerschon Yabusele added 21 points, while Justin Edwards chipped in with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and five steals. As a team, the 76ers shot 42 percent from the field and 14 of 46 from the 3-point line as they got off to a nightmare start and were immediately in deep trouble after allowing the Wizards to pour in 45 points in the first quarter. The 76ers showed plenty of fight in the fourth quarter to cut an 18-point deficit to just four points before they ran out of time.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

• The Heat have lost 12 of their last 13 road games against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.
• The 76ers have won each of their last three games as home underdogs against the Heat.
• The Heat have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games as road favorites against Atlantic Division opponents following a win.
• The underdogs have covered the spread in 14 of the 76ers' last 16 games at Wells Fargo Center.

Why the Miami Heat will win

• The 76ers have lost each of their last 15 night games against Eastern Conference opponents.
• The Heat have won five of their last six games against Atlantic Division opponents that held a losing record.
• The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 11 games at Wells Fargo Center against teams that held a losing record.
• The Heat have covered the spread in each of their last five games following a win.

The Heat have ruled out Duncan Robinson and Andrew Wiggins again, and they have Alec Burks listed as questionable, while the 76ers are still missing Joel Embiid, Kyle Lowry, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey. The 76ers have the slight advantage of extra rest as they haven't played since Wednesday, but that is their only edge in this matchup, given how severely depleted they are due to injuries. The Heat have struggled for consistency all season, but they've certainly looked great over the past week, and I think they represent decent value at the modest line, given how poorly the second-string 76ers have been.
