Wednesday, December 18th finds Eastern Conference rivals the Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers in their second meeting this season. The 76ers won the first game on November 23rd by a score of 113 – 86.
Last season, the teams played three times with the 76ers taking two of the three games in the series. The Heat holds the all-time record having bested the 76ers in 61 of their 121 matches
Miami Heat
Rolling along with one of the better records in the Association week eight was a tough one for the Heat who suffered their first loss at home to the Lakers and then were surprised by the young rebuilding Memphis Grizzlies who beat them 118-111.

In the loss to Memphis, Bam Adebayo delivered yet another double-double of 14 points and 13 rebounds while Jimmy Butler led the scoring with 25 points.
The trio of youngsters Tyler Herro (22), Kendrick Nunn (18) and Duncan Robinson (12) joined Derrick Jones Jr. (15) registering double-digit contributions.
On the season, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo have become the dynamic Heat duo with each leading three team categories. Butler is tops in scoring (21.2), assists (6.8) and steals (2.1). Bam Adebayo is tops in rebounds (10.7), blocks (1.3) and field goal percent (57.3%).
The injury list for Miami is extensive with five players out. James Johnson has missed four games due to a personal reason and won’t play Wednesday.
Justise Winslow missed the last six games with a lower-back strain, Goran Dragic has missed eight games nursing a groin injury and Udonis Haslem has missed 14 consecutive games due to illness. All three will be out Wednesday.
And, in the ongoing drama with Dion Waiters the Miami Heat has suspended him six games for failing to adhere to team policies, violating team rules and continued insubordination. He’ll be eligible to return on December 27th.
Philadelphia 76ers
The 76ers are the only team who remain unbeaten at home and enter this match looking to extend their 14-0 record at the Wells Fargo Center.
Unfortunately, their road prowess isn’t quite as stellar as the loss in Brooklyn dropped them to 6-8 away from home. Joel Embiid missed the game dealing with a respiratory infection but the Nets are also banged up yet easily won the match 89-109.
In the loss, Ben Simmons led the way with 20 points, three assists, and five rebounds. The trio of Tobias Harris (17), Josh Richardson (11) and Al Horford (10) were the other double-figure contributors.
On the season, Joel Embiid is the team leader in scoring (22.8), rebounds (12.3) and blocks (1.3). While Ben Simmons leads the team in another trio of categories including assists (8.2), steals (2.1) and field goal percent (57.1%).
Four players are on the injured reserved list but all are expected to play against Miami on Wednesday. The quartet includes Joel Embiid (upper-respiratory illness), Furkan Korkmaz (right knee soreness), Josh Richardson (wrist soreness) and Matisse Thybulle (illness).

Free Miami Heat vs. Philadelphia 76ers NBA Prediction:
In the first meeting between the clubs, Jimmy Butler was resoundingly booed by the fanbase who took umbrage with him declining the 76ers offer this past summer. Butler shot poorly from the field but it’s doubtful he’ll have back to back bad outings in Philly.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Heat plus points
Much will depend on whether Joel Embiid is fully recovered from his illness. Assuming he is the advantage lies with the 76ers but the game should be closer than the spread.
