This feels like a game where the Heat need to play at a bit of a faster pace
Not out of control offense
But not be afraid to play into the open floor early
Just based off personnel – 7:17 PM

Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid are both in tonight. Tobias Harris is not.
Starting five: Maxey-Lowry-Oubre Jr.-Batum-Embiid
This is by far the biggest game left on the Sixers’ schedule (which is stunningly light the rest of the way). – 7:02 PM

Nick Nurse on the final leg of the season with Joel Embiid back in the fold.
“We should have some optimism. We’ve been very good with him.”
Nurse adds that even in the months without Embiid, his @sixers team stayed competitive through most of its matchups w/ the league’s best. – 6:12 PM
