The Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers will get together on Saturday night in a battle of two Eastern Conference teams. This game will take place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The 76ers will be playing the second of back-to-back games, as they are at Milwaukee on Friday night. The Heat are 1-0, with their win coming Thursday night over the Washington Wizards. Philadelphia lost their opener 103-91 to Indiana.

Philadelphia saw Tony Wroten score 22 points and pass for 7 assists in the opener. Also for Philadelphia, Alexey Shved, the point guard off the bench added 18. The 76ers are coming off a season that saw them win just 19 games. Philadelphia will be without shooting guard Jason Richardson as well as shooting forward Jerami Grant, who both have injuries. The 76ers, who were the worst defensive team in the NBA last year, allowed 103 in the opener.

Of course for the Miami Heat they are playing this season with LeBron James, who moved to Cleveland. The Heat won their opener 107-95 over Washington behind 26 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists from Chris Bosh. Miami allowed just 95 points, which ranks as the fifth best in the league to start the season. The Heat added Danny Granger and Luol Deng in the off-season, and feel they can still be competitive in the Eastern Conference despite losing James.
