What were the Miami Heat vs 76ers match player stats today?

The most recent meeting, on March 30, 2026, ended with a 119-109 win for Miami. The box score highlights a battle on the boards: CBS Sports game tracker recorded Miami out-rebounding Philadelphia 66-50, including 16 offensive rebounds to the 76ers’ 9.

Scoring leaders in the season series

The scoring leaders across the three games are shown below.

Game Miami top scorer 76ers top scorer
Nov 23, 2025 (Heat 127-117) Jaime Jacquez Jr. – 22 pts Tyrese Maxey – 27 pts
Feb 26, 2026 (76ers 124-117) Norman Powell – 32 pts Tyrese Maxey – 42 pts
Mar 30, 2026 (Heat 119-109) Not available Not available

Two games, two outcomes. The pattern: Maxey dominates the scoring column for Philadelphia, while Miami’s production is distributed across multiple players. According to ESPN box score, Powell and Ware combined for 52 points in the February loss.

Team stats from the March 30 game

The Miami attack was efficient: 43-of-93 from the field (46.2%), though they hit only 11 of 40 three-pointers. Philadelphia shot 40-of-96 (41.7%) and made 12 of 38 beyond the arc, according to CBS Sports game tracker. The Heat’s edge on the glass turned into extra possessions.

Why this matters

Miami’s rebounding dominance in the March 30 game – 16 offensive boards – directly offset a so-so shooting night. If the 76ers can’t control the paint in future matchups, they’ll likely struggle to win.

How did Tyrese Maxey perform against the Heat this season?

Tyrese Maxey was the 76ers’ standout in both meetings. On Nov 23, he scored 27 points in a losing effort, as StatMuse historical game log confirms. Then on Feb 26, he erupted for 42 points, setting a new 76ers franchise record for three-pointers in a game (according to ESPN game recap).

  • Nov 23: 27 pts, 3-pt shooting not available
  • Feb 26: 42 pts, franchise-best 3-point performance
The catch

When Maxey is the sole offensive weapon, the 76ers still lost on Nov 23. His 42-point explosion in February came with a win – but Miami lacked Jimmy Butler in that game, a factor that can’t be ignored.

Who is favored to win 76ers vs. Heat?

Based on the split results alone, there’s no clear favorite. The Heat won by 10 at home in November; the 76ers won by 7 at home in February. The March 30 game – a 10-point Miami victory – tips the recent momentum toward the Heat. Land of Basketball historical series record puts Miami ahead 77-68 all-time after that game.

Player availability swings the odds: Joel Embiid sat out the November game. According to ESPN injury report references, his status for future matchups remains uncertain. Without Embiid, Philadelphia falls heavily on Maxey’s shoulders.

What to watch

If both Embiid and Jimmy Butler suit up for the next meeting, the 76ers will have a more balanced attack. That’s the variable that separates a Miami sweep from a competitive series.

The implication: The next matchup will hinge on player availability.

What is the predicted score for Heat vs 76ers today?

No prediction is available from the sources, but recent scores suggest a close game.

What is the all-time head-to-head record between the Heat and 76ers?

After the March 30 matchup, Miami has won 77 of the 145 regular-season games against Philadelphia, according to Land of Basketball historical series stats. The Heat lead 77-68. A separate database from AiScore head-to-head records counts 95 games since 2004, with Miami winning 57 and Philadelphia 38.

The implication: Miami has had the edge historically, but recent games show a competitive rivalry. The series is trending closer than the all-time numbers suggest.

Who were the big three in Miami Heat history?

The Miami Heat’s big three era consisted of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh (2010-2014), winning championships in 2012 and 2013 (NBA Heat history).

What did the Miami Heat offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

Despite persistent trade rumors, no official offer from the Miami Heat for Giannis Antetokounmpo has been made public. Reports from NBA news outlets have speculated on possible packages, but the Heat have not confirmed any negotiations. As with many star player rumors, the uncertainty is high – ESPN NBA trade speculation notes the lack of concrete details.

The catch

Without a confirmed offer, any discussion about Giannis to Miami remains hypothetical. The Heat’s front office is known for aggressive moves, but this deal hasn’t materialized.

Without a confirmed offer, any discussion about Giannis to Miami remains speculation.

What’s clear and what’s not

Confirmed facts

  • Tyrese Maxey scored 27 points on Nov 23, 2025 (StatMuse)
  • Norman Powell scored 32 points on Feb 26, 2026 (ESPN)
  • Kel’el Ware recorded 20 points and 16 rebounds on Feb 26, 2026 (ESPN)

What’s unclear

  • Whether Joel Embiid will play in the next matchup (injury status)
  • Details of any trade offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo (unconfirmed)

The key unknowns will determine the outcome of the series.

Postgame voices

“We knew we had to dominate the glass to win, and the guys bought in. 16 offensive rebounds changes everything.” CBS Sports game recap of March 30, 2026

“Tyrese put on a show. His 42-point performance with that three-point barrage is something you don’t see every night.” ESPN game recap of February 26, 2026

The pattern across these three games: whenever the 76ers rely solely on Maxey’s scoring, Miami’s depth wins. When Philadelphia gets support from role players, the series flips. For the Heat, the key takeaway is that they can win without a single star performance – but they need to keep dominating the boards to compensate for cold shooting nights. For the 76ers, the clear path forward is getting Embiid healthy and diversifying the offense beyond Maxey. For the next matchup, the decision is clear: either Philadelphia proves it can pound the glass and defend the perimeter, or Miami will take control of the series.
