Miami Heat vs. Philadelphia 76ers Best Picks
Tobias Harris Over 15.5 Points (-110)
With Embiid likely out, a few players will have to step up. After only putting up nine points in Game 3, Tobias Harris should step it up tonight. He's been great in the playoffs, and he should put up around 20.
Bam Adebayo Over 16.5 Points
Bam Adebayo is another player who was off in Game 3. Before putting up nine points last time out, Adebayo put up 20+ in the three previous games. This is another point prop that is pure money.
Jimmy Butler Over 23.5 Points & Over 4.5 Assists
Jimmy Butler has been cruising through these playoffs, putting up as many as 45 in Game 3 against the Hawks. Given the injuries the Heat are dealing with, Butler's props are a great play tonight.

Miami Heat vs. Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The 76ers chance of even winning another game in this series relies entirely on Joel Embiid. Philadelphia didn't know what to do with Miami in Games 1 and 2, but they found some footing with Embiid in Game 3.
Embiid will have to return for this series to go further than Game 5. Bettors should watch the injury report to know who to bet on. If Embiid is playing, the 76ers should take this one, especially if Miami's stars are ruled out.
