Talking points
This matchup could have huge playoff-seeding implications. The Sixers have the sixth-best record in the Eastern Conference. The Heat are seventh. The top eight teams at the end of the regular season advance to the playoffs. A victory would give the Sixers a three-game lead over Miami with 18 games remaining. It also would give them the two-team tiebreaker should they finish with the same record. That’s because the Sixers have already won two of the previous three meetings.
