Returning to the home court is a chance for the Philadelphia 76ers. Even without Embiid, the Sixers can reduce the score in the series. The fact is that Miami hasn’t been very successful at the Wells Fargo Centre. The Heat have lost 3 of their last 4 games on this court.
The Philadelphia 76ers’ fans can only hope for the trio of Maxey-Harris-Harden. Particular attention is being paid to the latter. It’s time for the Beard to take the lead.
The Sixers were unimpressive in Florida, but it should be different at home. At home, the 76ers are more productive.
In their last three games, the 76ers have scored more than 103.5 points.
The Philadelphia 76ers are having a really bad time. The 76ers lost again to the Miami Heat (103-119). This was the second defeat for the Sixers. Tyrese Maxey’s high efficiency is worth noting in the club’s line-up.
The score in the series is 0-2. The 76ers now have a home-court advantage. A great opportunity to tie the series.

The Philadelphia 76ers were unlucky. In fact, the team from Pennsylvania is playing against Miami without Joel Embiid. The Cameroonian cannot help his teammates yet. Doc Rivers uses Deandre Jordan in his position, but it’s an unequal substitute.
The 76ers outscored the Toronto Raptors (4-2) in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
In the second game of the series, Tyrese Maxey scored 34 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
Miami Heat:
The Miami Heat is close to the target. The Heat is on their way to reaching the NBA semi-finals. They have two away games ahead of them.
In the second game of the series, the Heat only confirmed their status as favourites.
In the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Heat were facing the Atlanta Hawks. In the end, the Florida team with a score of 4-1.

Miami’s strength is that this team doesn’t depend on the actions of any single player. The Heat doesn’t have a leader like Embiid for the Sixers. After all, the team from Florida is strong because of its teamwork.
In the second game of the series, Bam Adebayo scored 23 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists.
