Overall, last season the clubs played four times with the teams splitting the four contests. The Heat holds the all-time record with 67 wins in 131 matches versus the 76ers.

*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing on Sunday, February 26th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Monday, February 27th.
Miami Heat
Scoring is a problem for the Heat who are reeling. Instead of returning from the break and bringing their typical aggression to the court their lack of size and shooting is catching up to them.
While Jimmy Butler is a playoff beast, Miami needs to start winning some games or could be forced to have to win a play-in game(s) which isn’t ideal especially when the team struggles so mightily to score.
Stats
Presently, the Heat scores 108.1 points per game ranking 30th while shooting 45.0% from the field and 33.1% from the perimeter ranking 29th and 28th respectively.
Comparatively, on defense, the Heat allow opponents to score 108.6 points per game ranking second overall. Miami opponents shoot 47.6% from the field and 36.7% from the perimeter ranking 20th and 21st respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Tyler Herro PG (questionable—ribs)
- Kyle Lowry G (OUT indefinitely—knee soreness)
- Omer Yurtseven C (OUT indefinitely — ankle surgery)
- Nikola Jovic SF (OUT indefinitely, — lower back, stress reaction)
Philadelphia 76ers
Joel Embiid did everything to help his team collect a win against the best team in the NBA including a 70′ heave that would’ve tied the game but the review confirmed the ball was still on his fingertips as the backboard lit up signaling game end.
Philly’s big man registered a double-double of 41 points and 12 rebounds. that included several clutch time scores, free throws, an important block plus that crazy full-court shot that was just a smidge too late.
Stats
So far this season, the 76ers score an average of 114.2 points per game ranking 16th. Philly shoots 48.1% from the field and 38.3% from the perimeter, ranking 10th and fourth respectively.
What’s more, defense is where the 76ers make their mark allowing the third-fewest opponent points per game with 110.4 and the third-best perimeter defense at 34.4% while ranking 13th for opponent field goal percentage allowing opponents to shoot 47.1%.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Dewayne Dedmon, C (OUT indefinitely—hip)

Free Miami Heat vs. Philadelphia 76ers NBA Prediction:
As much as the past tends to dictate how I view the Heat, their recent regression and inability to score has me questioning if they’ve taken a bigger step back than first indicated.
Conversely, the 76ers who’ve been the polar opposite as a team who tend to choke in the big games have been stepping up (Celtics game aside) with their star leading the way.
Yet, I’m more invested in my belief in the Sixers, but I’ll still take the points given the healthy margin — because hey – Miami needs to at the very least keep this game close.
