Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers preview

The Heat continue to look for a trade for disgruntled star Jimmy Butler, who reportedly wants a move only to the Phoenix Suns. Miami has struggled in his absence, with a 4-6 record in the past 10 games.

Butler continues to serve an indefinite suspension after walking out of a practice on being told that he won’t start for the team anymore. Miami is coming off of a 133-124 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday. Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo scored 23 points each.

The Sixers, meanwhile, are in the midst of turning their season around after a horrible start because of injuries to key players. They are on the outside looking into the playoff spots, and a 5-5 record in the past 10 games doesn’t do wonders to their chances.

Philly is coming off of a narrow 118-116 on Wednesday. Joel Embiid had a triple-double of 29 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, while Tyrese Maxey had a double-double of 33 points and 13 assists.

As both teams play the second legs of back-to-backs, expect tired legs on both teams. The Sixers will sit Embiid for left knee injury management, as he hasn’t played back-to-backs yet.
