Furkan Korkmaz (foot) has missed significant time with the lisfranc injury and remains out with no timetable for return.
Likewise, rookie Markelle Fultz remains out continuing to heal from the shoulder injury while relearning his shot.
Miami Heat
Although the Heat have a healthy four and a half game cushion over ninth seeded Detroit the squad would prefer to rise higher up the playoff ladder.
Games like this one against teams likewise muddled in the three through eight seeds are therefore extremely important to win.

Free Philadelphia 76ers vs. Miami Heat NBA Prediction:
Both squads will be dialed in to capture the victory with playoff seeding on the line. In previous meetings the frontcourt was an especially interesting battle with Sixers star Joel Embiid the Heat’s focus.
Rookie Bam Adebayo is starting to offer reasons to believe General Manager Pat Riley may go Hassan Whiteside trade shopping this offseason. For now the Heat big men pair will need to handle Embidd if they desire the victory.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Heat +1
Dwyane Wade is channeling old school Flash performances in the Heat’s recent run, but Miami need to win these inter conference matchups and will use the American Airlines crowd as their sixth man.
