The 76ers are still trying to protect their spot among the 10 Eastern Conference playoff teams, or better yet, move back into the top 6 and avoid the play-in tournament for seeds Nos. 7-10. return of All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey caused a shock last week as Philadelphia lost to the Milwaukee Bucks (114-105) away and beat the Charlotte Hornets at home (109-98) during his last outing. Maxey scored 30 points in each of those contests as the 76ers’ centerpiece until All-Star center Joel Embiid (knee) was able to get healthy for a playoff push.
The Heat hold a decisive advantage over the 76ers for 7th place in the Eastern Conference with the same record of 37-30. Miami bounced back from a four-game losing streak with back-to-back wins over the lowly Detroit Pistons. Now, the Heat look to defeat a playoff contender on the road, where they rank third in the Eastern Conference with their 20-15 away record. The Heat are among the most balanced offenses in the NBA with Jimmy Butler’s 21.4 points per game, leading a group of seven players averaging in double figures.
The Heat and 76ers are scheduled to tip off at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. Live streams are available with offers from FuboTV (free trial), DirecTV Stream (free trial) And Sling (low introductory price).
