These teams are meeting for the first time this season and Miami looks to bounce back from a 91-89 loss at Cleveland on Wednesday, which snapped a two-game winning streak. The Heat put on a great defensive performance holding the Cavaliers to a .350 field goal percentage, but couldn't overcome its own poor shooting from three-point range where the Heat finished 3-of-28. Philadelphia has lost three in a row and is back home following a rough four-game trip in which it lost three of the four, including 116-108 at Brooklyn on Wednesday. Joel Embiid scored 29 points for the 76ers, but they allowed the Nets to shoot 50.6 percent from the field. Miami normally shoots 35.9 percent from beyond the arc and it allows 100.9 points per game compared to 106.9 for the Sixers. Look for Miami to bounce back from Wednesday's loss against the slumping Sixers. Play the Heat on the moneyline.
