Joel Embiid has scored 35 points and grabbed 18 rebounds while Ben Simmons had three late-game dunks as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Miami Heat 124-114 in the NBA.

The win came hours after the Sixers finalised a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves to land four-time All-Star Jimmy Butler, who is expected to makes his debut with Philly on Wednesday night at the Orlando Magic.

Shooting guard JJ Redick scored 25 points for Philadelphia, starting at small forward, while Simmons finished the game with 13 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.

The Sixers improved to 9-6 for the season to be third in the east as Embiid registered his 14th double-double in 15 games this season.

The Sixers centre has nine games with at least 30 points and 10 rebounds - nobody else in the NBA has more than three.
