Josh Yourish wrote about this game, which you can read up on here.
Here is a portion of why he’s backing the UNDER.
“I like Philly to win tonight and I may bet them to cover the three points, but my best bet is the under for this one. For the season Philly is 27th in pace and Miami is 29. The under is 4-0 in Miami’s last four against winning teams and is 4-1 in Philly’s last five overall.” — Josh Yourish

Josh Giddey OVER 8.5 rebounds

Josh Giddey hasn’t gone over 8.5 rebounds in his last four games, but I think he’s in a great spot to break that streak tonight.
He has faced Utah three times this season, and has gone over this number against them twice, including an 11 rebound performance against them on February 23rd.
it’s also worth noting that he’s averaging 0.4 more rebounds per game on the road this season than at home, so it bodes well for our bet that tonight’s contest is in Utah.

Josh Yourish is also taking the UNDER in the final game of the night. He wrote about why he likes this bet in his betting preview.
“Over this win streak the Suns have a defensive rating of 104.8 which is the best in the NBA for that stretch. They’ll need to figure out who on their bench they really trust in a playoff scenario and they might treat this game that way. Meanwhile, Jokic and Jamal Murray are questionable. I’m not sure that they’ll both play with the No. 1 seed almost certainly locked up. I like Phoenix to win and they’re 5-1 against the spread in their last six, but my best bet is the under because of the type of defense they’re playing.” – Josh Yourish
