The Philadelphia 76ers will return home to play host to the Miami Heat on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, then you’ve come to the right place. The Sixers will be looking to pick up a much-needed win over a Heat team nipping at their heels in the playoff race.
The Sixers, current owners of the No. 6 seed in the East which signifies the last guaranteed playoff spot, are 1.5 games up on the No. 8 seed Heat. This is the first matchup between these two teams since Nov. 23 as both teams have gone through their ups and downs thus far. The Heat will clinch the tiebreaker with a win on Thursday, so Philadelphia will be looking to even the 3-game series at 1-1 before the final matchup on March 30 in Miami.
