FiveStarPick.com is starting to heat up as our member plays have hit 8 of 11 against the spread and today we have a full board of action for our members in both college and NBA basketball.  The focus of today’s preview is tonight’s NBA game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Miami Heat.  Las Vegas sports books list the 76ers as 5-point home favorites with the total set at 193.

When it looked like Philadelphia was finally making a run, things are turning south again as Elton Brand is out for the year and must undergo shoulder surgery.  The Sixers started the season a disappointing 13-20 which lead to the firing of head coach Maurice Cheeks.  Things started to turn around with a recent 10-2 run, but they have since been very shakey and barely squeaked out a Push against the spread at home Thursday night against the Pacers.  The Sixers have a real problem finishing games and have lost eight games this season in which they led after three quarters.

Miami is playing average ball right now with moments of greatness, but has yet to put a major run together. The Heat are 12-11 ATS on the road and coming off a SU loss and an ATS winner in Detroit on Wednesday as 4-point dogs.  Miami is 16-5 following a loss, going 13-8 ATS in those 21 games.
