Philadelphia and Dallas head home trying to stay in conference semifinal series against the top seeds, the 76ers unclear when Joel Embiid might play against Miami and the Mavericks waiting for someone to help Luka Doncic against Phoenix. Coach Doc Rivers didn't sound optimistic about Embiid's availability for Game 3 on Friday night in Philadelphia after the Sixers fell behind the Heat 2-0 in without the MVP finalist, out with an orbital fracture. Dallas coach Jason Kidd repeated himself following a second loss to Chris Paul, Devin Booker and the Suns — the 11th consecutive defeat for the Mavericks, regular season included, against the team with the NBA's best record.
