Philadelphia 76ers: 3 must-win games in the month of February

2. Feb. 14 vs. Miami Heat

The Philadelphia 76ers should have one thing on their mind when Feb. 14 arrives: Win their last game before the All-Star Break. The Sixers face the Miami Heat on their final game before the All-Star Break and even more interesting, it’s their second of three meetings in the month of February.

The Sixers and Heat have yet to meet in the regular season, but there’s sure to be fireworks when big men Joel Embiid and Hassan Whiteside step on to the floor. The two have traded their fair share of barbs in the past few months, so the matchup shouldn’t disappoint.

Miami currently has a 29-22 record, giving them the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference. They are 20-12 against other teams across the conference, a solid record compared to other playoff foes. The Miami Heat are one of four teams currently with 20 wins against conference opponents so far.

The Philadelphia 76ers will have their work cut out for them in this game. It’s bound to have a playoff feel to it as well, so expect some fireworks.
