Following a second half collapse against the Chicago Bulls, the Miami Heat will face the Philadelphia 76ers, who are also on a back-to-back. The 76ers recently secured a narrow win against the Mavericks, led by star Joel Embiid's 29 points, but he will sit out against the Heat. Philadelphia will rely on Tyrese Maxey, who is performing at a career-high scoring average. The Heat, coming off a disappointing game, will look for improved backcourt performance, particularly from Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson.
Joel Embiid won't play tomorrow against the Heat, Nick Nurse said, in the second night of a back-to-back after coming back today for the first time in a month and having a 29-point triple-double in a win for Philadelphia over Dallas.
Tyrese Maxey dropped a 33 points and 13 assists double-double in their most recent win, and his scoring average on the season has skyrocketed to a career-high 27.8 points on 45% shooting.
