Miami Heat

The Heats made a lot of efforts to finish the main tournament on the first line of the Eastern Conference. Without a doubt, the head coach took the club to a completely different level, but there is nothing surprising here, since there is an NBA superstar in almost every position in the starting five.

Miami began the playoffs with a series of confrontations against Atlanta, however, they immediately showed character and simply did not allow the opponent to accelerate. The Hawks managed to win just one victory and the streak ended and the Lights moved on. Wards of Eric Spoelstra are also aimed at easily dealing with Phil, although the opponent is not an easy one. Unfortunately, Kyle Lauri will not play in the next meeting. The participation of Tylor Herro is also in question, so there are enough problems.

Philadelphia 76ers

The 66ers were doing well during the regular season, given the problems with Ben Simmons, who refused to play at all. The management found a way out of this situation, so James Harden joined the team, so to speak, strengthened the attack, although it is noticeable that the “beard” is in the shadow of Joel Embiid.

Philadelphia wasted a lot of nerves in the first round of the playoffs as Toronto proved to be a tough nut to crack. The Canadian club fought to the end, although in the end they could not resist (2:4). The guys from Doc Rivers got a ticket to the 1/4 finals, however, in the last meeting the leader Joel Embiid was injured, around whom the whole game was built. So, most likely, the guests will face problems at the FTCS Arena.

Prediction

For Philadelphia the injury of Joel Embiid is a great tragedy, because James Harden is unlikely to be able to replace the leader now, although this role falls on his shoulders. The Sixers start the streak on the road, which complicates things even more.

Miami also has problems with the roster, but after the regular season, we can say that Eric Spoelstra's wards have a more developed team game than the opponent. The Heat is the favorite of this confrontation and the players are ready to prove it on the parquet of the home arena.

Our prediction is for a handicap (-6.5) points on Miami Heat for odds of 1.74 in 1xBet bookmaker.

We will see a duel between teams that often rely on defense. The Sixers are left without Joel Embiid, that is, they are unlikely to take risks and go forward. Respectively, we do not expect a super-successful fight and offer a bet on the bottom.

Second bet is for a total under 213.5 points for 1.56.
