Heat vs 76ers prediction, choice and odds for tonight’s NBA game

Both Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers are down on the faces of their franchise for this matchup as they try to climb up the eastern conference of a shot at doing the playoffs.

With a trade that probably comes for the suspended Jimmy Butler and Joel Embiid, resting in this matchup, I expect both teams to rely on their Kentucky star guard to carry the offensive load.

My Heat vs. 76ers predictions and NBA elections for Wednesday, February 5, expect a high scoring game.

My analysis
No Jimmy Butler or Joel Embiid? No problem for over the players.

Both of these teams are more than used to it at this time and have allowed their electric guards, who happened to play for John Calipari on Kentucky, to be the stars of the show.

With Tyrese Maxey, which carries the offense of the Philadelphia 76ers and Tyler Herro, which smooths out as the most important gear for Miami Heat, these two teams are a combined 53-42-3 by betting on this season and they are only getting better.

Since January 14, they are a combined 16-6 bet over, and Philadelphia has hit it in four of its last five excursions. While this season has not gone, as Nick Nurse had hoped with Philly just 11 in the East, Maxey has taken another step forward in his development.

He is fourth in the NBA in PPG (27.8) and has helped Philly’s violation of taking it up with a notch every month that goes. After an average of only 104.5 ppg in November, the 76s have added almost two points to their average in each month – where he set 110.4 in December, 112.2 in January, and now 114 in February.

It coincided with the teams that shoot and got a lift – the 76s hit 46.9% from the floor and 37.2% from deep in January, up from their season average of 45.6% and 35.2%. However, the defense is still the reason why the 76s are only 7-12 since the beginning of 2025.

Over the last 19 games, Philadelphia gives up 116.5 PPG, up from its season average of 112.7, and it contributed to the team that fell to only 23. In defensive rating (115.9). Braking teams behind the arch has been a major problem with opponents that hit better than 38% from a distance since the beginning of January.

It’s good for herro and The Heat, which is very dependent on 3-point shooting. Miami hits the sixth most triangles per day. Fight in NBA (14.3), and Herro is sixth in 3-Pointer per Fight (3.8).

He is also not alone with Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic, Alec Burks and Haywood Highsmith, all hit over one three pr. Fight and shoot better than 38% from deep. Miami’s long ball will be as important to this over beating as Maxey by keeping his dynamic score.

Over 216.5

Tyrese Maxey Over 30.5 points

Kel’el ware over 9.5 rebounds

Not many players are steadily improved, as Maxey has since entered the NBA four seasons ago. His points per Fight has risen every year and he hits a career high 3.3 triangles per year. Match this season.

With Embiid, he should have no problem going for more than 30 against Miami. He has been in a tear from late with two 40-plus-point performances in his last five games. And during his last nine matches he average he 34.1 ppg.

Braking Maxey becomes a problem for Miami, but with Embiid out, the heat can expose the 76s with rising rookie kel’el ware.

The first round pick has been shining since a bigger role in mid -January. He has gone over 9.5 rebounds in seven of his last 11 games, while he average 9.8 per year. Match.
