Miami continues their homestretch with Saturday’s game against their East rival.
GAME STORY
The Miami Heat (27-15) return to action Saturday night at the FTX Arena to host the Philadelphia 76ers (24-17), one night after beating the Atlanta Hawks in their first game back from their five-game road trip.
This is the second in a stretch of eight home games in their next nine Heat games.
Philadelphia hasn’t missed Ben Simmons lately, having won nine of their last 11 games while they seek trade offers for their disgruntled point guard. They beat the Boston Celtics 111-99 at home in their last game. Joel Embiid led his team with 25 points and 13 rebounds.
ODDS: FiveThirtyEight gives the Heat a 64% chance to win the game.
