At a glance

The Philadelphia 76ers (4-1) host the Miami Heat (1-4) on Wednesday, November 25 at 5:00 PM ET at Xfinity Mobile Arena in NBA action. The Basketlog model gives the Heat a 50% chance to win and projects a 117-116 score (Heat – 76ers), about 231 total points. This season, the 76ers are 2-1 at home and the Heat are 1-1 on the road. Since the start of the season: 4-1 for the 76ers and 1-4 for the Heat (current streaks: 76ers W1, Heat W1). A close game (margin of 5 points or fewer) happens in only 31% of cases according to the model. Reported injuries: Jabari Walker (76ers), Tacko Fall (76ers), Dominick Barlow (76ers) and Ariel Hukporti (76ers). Prediction confidence: low.

The analysis Model

Close to a coin flip: nothing really sets either side apart. The model projects 76ers 116 – 117 Heat, a margin of about 0.0 points in favor of the Heat and a total around 231 points. Expect a game at a standard NBA pace. The 76ers will be without Jabari Walker or Tacko Fall (and 2 others).

The 76ers need to win the pace battle to stay in the game.
The Heat's offense (118.6 pts/game) is the more productive of the two.
The 76ers' defense allows clearly fewer points (113.5 pts/game).
