Heat vs. 76ers Pick
When handicapping tonight’s Heat vs. 76ers line, it’s important to not just focus on where the odds are now, but also where they’ve been.
For example, Philadelphia opened as a 1-point favorite over Miami at DraftKings, a number that now sits at a consensus of -2.5 across the market.
As I mentioned above, overall betting has been very balanced so far, so why have oddsmakers been motivated to push this spread 1.5 points since open?
Sharp action — that’s why.
Action Labs’ Bet Signals are reporting that professionals have steamed Philadelphia twice already, explaining why sportsbooks have pushed this spread up to -2.5.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
