The Miami Heat aren't just trying to avoid a sweep.

A week ago, the Portland Trail Blazers had stolen home-court advantage and seemed poised to make quick work of the Denver Nuggets in their first-round Western Conference playoff series.

Joel Embiid is bracing for a rough reception Saturday night when the Philadelphia 76ers head down the I-95 corridor to visit the Washington Wizards in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.

Now that the visiting Utah Jazz have gotten a boost from Donovan Mitchell, the underdog Memphis Grizzlies will attempt to get help for Ja Morant when the Western Conference clubs continue their best-of-seven playoff series with Game 3 on Saturday night.
