Through 3 Quarters

The Philadelphia 76ers need a win to get to .500; they are on the right side of the score, but it's probably not as comfy a margin as they would like. It's anybody's game after three quarters, but the Sixers are ahead of the Miami Heat 89-85.

Center Joel Embiid has led the way so far for the 76ers, as he has 24 points in addition to seven boards. A double-double would be Embiid's fourth in a row. One thing to keep an eye out for is Tobias Harris' foul situation as he currently sits at four.

Miami has been relying on the performance of small forward Jimmy Butler, who has 32 points and four assists along with two blocks.

The Heat haven't lost 77% of the games in which they were down heading into the final period this season, so a victory here would be refreshing.

What to Know

The Philadelphia 76ers' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Miami Heat at 8 p.m. ET May 8 at Wells Fargo Center. Philadelphia will be strutting in after a win while Miami will be stumbling in from a defeat.

The Heat are out to make up for these teams' game this past Friday. Everything went the Sixers' way against Miami as they made off with a 99-79 victory. Point guard Tyrese Maxey was the offensive standout of the matchup for Philadelphia, shooting 5-for-6 from beyond the arc and finishing with 21 points and six assists.

Philadelphia is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Washington Wizards Feb. 2 easily too and instead slipped up with a 106-103. In other words, don't count Miami out just yet.
