What to Know
The Miami Heat will take on the Philadelphia 76ers at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at Wells Fargo Center. The Heat will be strutting in after a victory while Philadelphia will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Miami is hoping for another win. They were completely in charge on Tuesday, breezing past the Sixers 120-85 at home. Miami’s small forward Jimmy Butler was one of the most active players for the squad, picking up 23 points and six assists along with nine rebounds.
Miami is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Golden State Warriors March 23 easily too and instead slipped up with a 118-104. In other words, don’t count Philadelphia out just yet.
