Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers host Miami Heat in the NBA Play-In Tournament starting this week in a bid to secure 7th seed spot for the 2024 NBA Playoffs. The winner of this match faces the number 2 seed New York Knicks in the play-offs. The race for this season’s play-in tournament was tight and had to be decided on the final day.
Despite winning their 8th straight game on Sunday, the 76ers missed out on the top 6 automatic qualifiers and thus have to go through the play-in route against 8th seed Miami Heat. Nevertheless, as 7th seed, 76ers get to play at home against 8th seed Miami in this one-game semi-final. This season, the 76ers and Miami looked evenly matched as they each won 2 games against each other in the four-game season series. Miami won 119-113 in December and 109-104 in February. 76ers turned the tables 98-91 in March and 109-105 in April.
Last season’s NBA MVP and two-time NBA scoring champions Joel Embiid is expected to be back for 76ers after being rested in the last game against the Brooklyn Nets as a precaution as he continues to recover from his injury. Since returning in April 2nd, Embiid has played in 5 of 7 games and averaged 30.4 points and 9.2 rebounds. Miami also boast of some big names such as Jimmy Butler, formerly of 76ers, with an average of 20.9 points per game and Bam Adebayo averaging 19.3 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.
There is no doubt that we will have a tough, close game but the 76ers have a slight advantage as they are playing at home, and the return of Joel Embiid is a big boost. For our Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat prediction, we go for Philadelphia 76ers Win in regular time.
