Philadelphia 76ers Form
Philadelphia have once again established themselves as a top contender in the Eastern Conference.
The 76ers issued an emphatic response to a season-opening defeat in Milwaukee, winning eight consecutive games to kick-start their campaign.
They cooled off in the second half of November, losing five times in nine games, but they rebounded in the lead up to Christmas.
Philadelphia began December with a defeat in Boston, only to respond with a six-game win streak that was eventually ended by a loss to Chicago on December 18.
The 76ers now face a Miami team who they have had mixed fortunes against in recent times, going 4-4 in the last eight meetings.
Miami Heat Form
Miami head into this Christmas Day game having made a mixed start to the season that has left them several games behind the early pace-setters in the Eastern Conference.
The Heat opened the season with a narrow win against Detroit, but saw their form quickly nose-dive.
They lost four consecutive games, including a couple of big conference meetings with Boston and Milwaukee.
Miami’s response was emphatic though, as a win over Washington sparked a seven-game win streak.
The Heat failed to keep that red-hot form going though, going on an inconsistent run of form since the defeat in Chicago on November 18.
Verdict
Philadelphia have been in good form in December and have a decent recent record in Miami, so we like the underdog 76ers in this one.
