Philadelphia 76ers vs. Miami Heat preview
The struggling Philadelphia 76ers host the Miami Heat in what promises to be an intriguing matchup at the Wells Fargo Center.
Philly's been in a real funk lately, dropping 21 of their last 24 games and riding a six-game losing streak.
Their injury woes continue, with Joel Embiid, Kyle Lowry, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey all sidelined.
Despite these setbacks, Quentin Grimes has stepped up, dropping 22 points in their recent narrow loss to the Wizards.
The Heat, on the other hand, are finding their groove, gunning for their fourth straight win after a solid victory over the Hawks.
Tyler Herro's been on fire, scorching the nets with 36 points on efficient 13-of-17 shooting in their last outing.
While Miami's missing a few pieces too, with Duncan Robinson and Andrew Wiggins out, they've got momentum on their side.
Given Philly's depleted roster and Miami's recent surge, this could be a tough night for the home crowd, but in the NBA, you never know.
