Coming off a successful Joel Embiid return, the Philadelphia 76ers will hit the road to face arguably their toughest remaining opponent of the regular season: the Miami Heat. Currently, the Heat reside in the coveted sixth seed of the Eastern Conference, 1.5 games above the Sixers.
The Heat, much like the year before, have had a roller coaster of a regular season marred with injuries to key players. Heading into tonight’s game, the Heat will be without Tyler Herro (medial tendonitis), Josh Richardson (shoulder surgery) and Orlando Robinson (G League assignment). Jimmy Butler, who has missed a handful of games over the past few weeks, is expected to be available.
