The Miami Heat close their two-game road trip against the Philadelphia 76ers Sunday inside Xfinity Mobile Arena at 1:00 p.m. EST.

Sunday’s matinee showdown will be the first of a back-to-back for the Heat, who are winners of six of their last eight.

Miami took care of business Friday against the Chicago Bulls, the third of four Emirates Cup group stage games. It secured an emphatic 143-107 win, its fourth 140-point game of the season.

Norman Powell (19 points), Kel’el Ware (20 points, 14 rebounds) and Bam Adebayo (18 points, seven rebounds) led the way for the Heat in their dominant 36-point win.

The 76ers, who enter at 9-6, are coming off a 123-114 overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Tyrese Maxey had a career-high 54 points with five rebounds, nine assists, three steals and three blocks in 47 minutes (!!!), shooting 18-of-30 from the floor and 6-of-15 from deep.

Maxey and rookie VJ Edgecombe, who was drafted No. 3 overall, have been one of the league’s best backcourts in the league. Maxey is averaging 33.4 points and 7.9 assists on the season, while Edgecombe is tallying 15.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals.
