76ers Analysis: Coming off a close 4-point win
This season hasn’t been easy for the 76ers. They now have to fight for a berth in the play-in round after it appeared like they would be vying with the Bucks and Celtics for the top spots in the East. But after a protracted injury layoff, they suddenly appear ready to mount a comeback as they bring back reigning MVP Joel Embiid. In his first game since January, the 30-year-old played 29 minutes and displayed impressive playmaking skills, finishing with 24 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals. The Sixers would go on to win their 2nd straight game, 109-105, against the Oklahoma City Thunder, a formidable squad. They are currently two games behind Indiana and 1.5 games behind their opponents.
Heat Analysis: They’ve won 3 consecutive matches
As the regular season approaches its last few games, the Heat are in a close competition for a top-6 seed, which guarantees automatic entrance to the NBA Playoffs. They now trail the Knicks and Magic (who are now tied) by 2 games and the 6th-place Pacers by just half a game. The hosts defeated the aforementioned Knicks 109-99 at home to start this game on a 3-game winning run. Jimmy Butler and the team have already won 6 of their previous 8 matches thanks to their recent rise in play. Miami’s defense has improved significantly over the past five games, as they have only allowed 100 points to their opponents in three of those contests. The Heat surrender just 108.4 opponent points per game, which puts them in 4th place in the NBA.
