    Marc Lawrence: Side with Sixers vs Heat

    Side with Sixers vs Heat

    Game Time: 1/19/2007 7:05:00 PM

    With their strong record in the series, straight up and against the spread, play the 76ers at home in Philly tonight against the Miami Heat.

    The Heat travel to the city of Brotherly Love off last night's home tussle with Indiana, while the Sixers return home mad off back-to-back 16 and 18-poiont losses in their most recent contests.

    Philadelphia (10-29) is transitioning still after losing both Allen Iverson in a trade and Chris Webber who was released. Five different players have been the game-high scorer for the club in their last eight games: Samuel Dalembert, Willie Green, Kyle Korver, Andre Miller and Andre Iquodala.

    Miami (18-20) has been on a pretty good run of late, winning four of their last five away from home. But with Philly standing 17-9 straight up and against the spread in this series, and the Heat looking ahead to a 24-point revenge loss rematch with New York next week, the points become the play here tonight.

    Play: 76ers

    I was thinking of betting the Heat on the money line here. Its at a reasonable price.

    I have a small lean on the 76ers, but will probably pass.

    I would be seriously pissed if I took that money line. With Wade missing the first free throw of 3 that could of won the game for the Heat. He screwed the Heat ML bettors.

    Well Im pissed anyway, because my only bet of the day ended up being a flop, with the Blackhawks not showing up.
