I'm with Alex in that I think the Sixers will end up resting a lot of their key guys as this spread has fallen all day. Philly is locked into the East's No. 3 seed so it makes NO sense for Doc Rivers to play Joel Embiid, who locked up the MVP and probably a second straight scoring title Tuesday and not playing isn't going to change anything. Miami has everyone healthy and still has an outside shot of avoiding the play-in tournament but the bigger motivation is to at least finish seventh and host that 7 vs 8 game.

Getting this out quickly as I expect the 76ers to rule out Joel Embiid and James Harden, The 76ers are locked into the number 3 seed while the Heat could still catch Brooklyn and avoid participating in the Play-In Tournament. It makes little sense for Doc Rivers to risk Embiid and Harden who are both worn down. Even if they end up suiting up, I'd be very surprised if they played a full compliment of minutes. It would also be out of character for Doc Rivers to risk Embiid. Meanwhile Miami is very motivated to win tonight and the trio of Butler, Adebayo, and Herro appear all systems go.
