Match Predict – Handicap (-6.5) for Heat
For the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid’s injury is a great tragedy, as it is unlikely that James Harden can replace the leader now, although that role falls on his shoulders. The Sixers start the series on the road, which makes things even more difficult.
The Miami Heat also has lineup problems, but after the regular season, we can say that Eric Spoelstra’s team play is more developed as a team. The Heat is the favourite for this game and the players are ready to prove it on the home court.
Total Points – Under 210
This will be an encounter between teams that often rely on defence. The Sixers are without Joel Embiid, which means they are unlikely to take any chances and go forward.
Home Side Points – Under 108.5
The Heat have not scored more than 108.5 points in their last five head-to-head games.
