Philadelphia 76ers at Miami Heat u191.5
The computer routines we employ anticipate the Sixers scoring 83.8-88.8 and the Heat adding 88.6-90.2 points, for a final combined score in the 172-179 range. Simulations assume both Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosch are reduced to spectator status this evening (CBS Sports report that Bosch will not rejoin his team before Christmas, and that Wade is questionable for today's action).
Historical scoring tendencies exhibited by these teams so far this season justify our attraction to the under and estimate a more conservative total, in the range of 178-186 -- these figures, though, do not account for lost production resulting from absent personnel, and thus probably overstate Miami's scoring potential tonight.
Happy betting!!
