Sixers tip off Christmas day matchup vs. Miami Heat

Coming off a convincing victory against the Toronto Raptors, the Philadelphia 76ers will look for their third consecutive victory on the road against the Miami Heat. This will be the first of a four-game road trip.

The Miami Heat thus far have been sporadic this season, amassing a season record of 17-12 after a slow 1-4 start. Both Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo have missed their fair share of games, and it’s possible the Heat could be shorthanded against the Sixers. Butler is listed as questionable with a left calf strain, along with former Blue Coat Haywood Highsmith who is questionable with a non-COVID related illness.
