Odds Checker: Take the Heat with the points vs. 76ers in Game 6
Jason Radowitz writes: "Meanwhile, the Heat have Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo coming off the bench. There's some major depth off the bench for the Heat that the 76ers just can't match. Also, Max Strus shot 40% from downtown in Game 5 and he was struggling to find success in recent games before that one. Jimmy Butler has also been the best player and most consistent player on the floor this series between both sides. If the Heat doesn't beat the 76ers in Game 6, the home game for Game 7 would go the Heat's way. But Miai would rather finish up the series now. The 76ers are about to fold. They lost the rebounding battle by 10. allowed five more turnovers and just got destroyed in the paint in Game 5. I'll stick with the Heat in Game 6, even on the road."
