PHI vs MIA Dream11
PHI vs MIA Dream11: Philadelphia 76ers will be looking to return to winning ways when they host fellow Eastern Conference rivals Miami Heat at Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia, on Thursday morning (IST). But it won’t be easy for the Sixers, as not only Heat come off their own defeat in the last game and will be looking for the win, but they are one of the in-form teams in the league and won’t be an easy meal for the heightened Sixers.
The hosts are 2nd in the Eastern Conference standings and are 8-2 in the last 10 games. But the more concerning fact for the Heat will be Sixers’ flawless home record. Joel Embiid and Co have won all 14 matches at Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia this season.
Heat are 7-3 in the last 10 and 19-8 on the season. They are not, what you would say, indomitable travellers as they have suffered seven defeats in the 15 road games. Time to buckle up for Jimmy Butler and Co.
