If the Heat obtain the victory, they would equal the balance of the franchise that is above today, that is, the Cleveland Cavaliers, so a victory will be very important for Miami, not only to preserve their 5th position, but also to start fighting the 4th place to the Cavs. On the side of the Sixers, they will try to get closer to the Heatand in turn detach themselves from the Washington Wizards, who today have the same balance as the Philadelphia franchise and fight with them for that coveted 6th position.
