The Heat vs 76ers game saw Miami seeking a better play-in position after beating Philadelphia, 117-105.

Moreover, Kal’el Ware scored 19 points along with 17 rebounds, while Pelle Larson and Davion Mitchell scored 12 points each for Miami.

Alec Burks added 11 points for the Heat, who are now a half-game back of the Chicago Bulls (36-42) in the race for the No,9 spot.

The Heat will next take on the Bulls on Wednesday.

MIAMI STILL WON SANS ADEBAYO, WIGGINS, LOVE

Miami still won a crucial game of playoff implications despite missing three key players.

Moreover, the Heat thrived as Bam Adebayo (back spasms), Andrew Wiggins (right hamstring), and Kevin Live (personal) were all out.

Furthermore, Wiggins has missed 15 of Miami’s last 30 games.

This, since he landed in South Florida from the Jimmy Butler trade.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra assured Miami fans they don’t have to wait much longer.

However, he stopped short of specifics on Wiggins’ return.

“He’s getting close,” the coach said.

PHILLY UNVEILS 53RD STARTING LINEUP CHANGE AMID INJURY-RAVAGED SEASON

Philadelphia (23-55) unveiled its 53rd starting lineup change amid another injury-ravaged season.

Furthermore, Marcus Bagley made his first career start as part of the 76ers’ record-setting number of starting units this season.

Moreover, he joined Adam Bona, Jared Butler, Qeuntin Grimes, and Lonnie Walker in the starting lineup.

Grimes and Walker finished with 29 points each in a losing cause.

“No doubt, a huge disappointment. It started bad, stayed bad, and it’s going to end bad,” Sixers coach Nick Nurse said, referring to his team’s awful season.
