Embiid missed out on the MVP award and dropped a horrific performance in game 5 which has put the 76ers in a do-or-die situation, and he’ll be required to step up and perform well.
Jimmy Butler has quite arguably been the best player in this series, and he will look to continue his dominance to win this game for his team, and win in the series.
Miami would love to win this game and close out the series, as the 76ers will be under pressure which could make them melt, and Miami will capitalize on it.
