Heat vs 76ers Game 6 Betting Pick
This game will be played at Wells Fargo Center at 7:00 PM ET on Thursday, May 12, 2022.
The Miami Heat crushed the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday to take a 3-2 series lead going into Game 6. Now, with the Sixers facing elimination, they will look to maintain the run of success that home teams have had in this series to keep their season alive. In our NBA betting picks for Thursday night, we look at Heat vs 76ers Game 6, as Miami looks to close the Sixers out, while the Sixers look to force a Game 7.
Why Bet The 76ers:
✅ Home teams in this series have gone 5-0 both straight up and against the spread. The home team has won by double digits in four of the five games of this series, with the lone exception coming in Game 4. While the Sixers may not win by double digits in this game, they will win and cover to force a Game 7.
✅ Kyle Lowry is going to miss Game 6 due to injury, which is going to negatively impact the guard depth of the Heat coming into this important game. Without Lowry, James Harden should continue his run of being better at home than on the road in this series. Harden has averaged 24 points per game at home in this series and will play well again in Game 6.
BetMGM Sportsbook
✅ There has been a huge difference between the Heat offensively at home and on the road in this series. Miami averaged 115 points per game in their three home games of this series, but have averaged just 93.5 points per game on the road. Philly will take advantage of those wild splits to tie this series at three games apiece.
Miami Heat
The Miami Heat took care of business at home for the third straight time in this series and the sixth straight time in the playoffs in Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers. They crushed the Sixers at FTX Arena to take a 3-2 series lead, and head back to Philadelphia with a chance to eliminate the Sixers on Thursday night. But the Heat have struggled mightily away from home in this series and that could come back to bite the Heat in this contest.
Miami is 0-2 on the road against the Sixers in this series and just 1-3 on the road for the entirety of the playoffs so far. While Jimmy Butler has been putting up big offensive numbers on the road against the 76ers, the rest of the Heat have struggled in a big way on the road. That will need to change for the Heat to win this game and move onto the Eastern Conference Finals without playing in a Game 7.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers once again failed to pick up a road win against the Miami Heat, falling behind 3-2 on the road on Tuesday. No Sixers player scored 20 points in that loss, as Joel Embiid and James Harden continued to struggle on South Beach. In Game 6, the Sixers will hope that home court advantage can cure their offensive issues to force a win or go home game over the weekend.
The performance of James Harden is going to go a long way in determining how the Sixers fare in this contest. He has only scored over 20 points once in this series, with that coming in Game 4 at home. He will need to take advantage of the absence of Kyle Lowry for the Sixers to keep their season alive.
