Season Profile Comparison: Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat
These tables are grouped to make the season profile easier to scan. Each category is anchored to two key stats, since that’s usually where you can tell which side has the cleaner path if the game follows form.
Record & Scoring
Miami Heat leads both win percentage (63.4) and point margin (2.3), a strong signal that the scoring baseline is on their side. If Philadelphia 76ers is going to swing this category, it usually needs a pace spike or a shooting night that compresses the margin fast.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Miami Heat |
|---|---|---|
| Record (W-L) | 45-37 | 43-39 |
| Win Percentage | 53.7 | 63.4 |
| Points For | 115.9 | 120.9 |
| Points Against | 116.1 | 118.5 |
| Points Margin | -0.2 | 2.3 |
Efficiency
Miami Heat leads on shooting efficiency (110.5) and field goal efficiency (54.2), and that combination often reduces volatility. If the game slows, those efficiency edges can become louder because each possession carries more weight.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Miami Heat |
|---|---|---|
| Field Goal % | 0.7 | 0.7 |
| Three-Point % | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| Shooting Efficiency | 110 | 110.5 |
| Field Goal Efficiency | 53 | 54.2 |
| Free Throw Rate | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| Three-Point Rate | 0.4 | 0.4 |
| Free Throw % | 0.8 | 0.8 |
Tempo, Ratings & Turnovers
The two drivers point opposite ways—Miami Heat on net rating (2.4), Philadelphia 76ers on ball security (13). If Miami Heat doesn’t force mistakes, the turnover edge can keep this matchup tighter than the rating suggests.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Miami Heat |
|---|---|---|
| Pace | 102.3 | 106.1 |
| Net Rating | 0.5 | 2.4 |
| Offensive Rating | 112.5 | 113.9 |
| Defensive Rating | 112 | 111.5 |
| Turnovers Per Game | 13 | 13.1 |
Rebounding, Ball Movement & Disruption
Offensive rebounds and steals are close (0.3 vs 0.3, 9.1 vs 8.6), so this category often comes down to which team strings together clean possessions. When the extra-possession levers are even, a couple loose-ball plays can decide the margin.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Miami Heat |
|---|---|---|
| Rebounds Per Game | 43.6 | 46.3 |
| Offensive Rebounds | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| Defensive Rebounds | 0.7 | 0.7 |
| Assists Per Game | 24.6 | 29 |
| Assist Rate | 58.9 | 66.3 |
| Steals Per Game | 9.1 | 8.6 |
| Blocks Per Game | 5.7 | 4.3 |
