Match Preview: Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers
The Miami Heat will face the Philadelphia 76ers in what will be the 2nd game of the ongoing Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. Miami had won the first game of the series comprehensively and now has an advantage in the series.
Philly is without Joel Embiid and getting a game without him will be a tough task for them, and Miami is looking locked in to go 2-0 up in the series.
Miami:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caleb Martin | SF | Tue, May 3 | Ankle | Game Time Decision |
| Gabe Vincent | PG | Tue, May 3 | Knee | Game Time Decision |
| Kyle Lowry | PG | Tue, May 3 | Hamstring | Expected to be out until at least May 6 |
| P.J. Tucker | PF | Tue, May 3 | Calf | Game Time Decision |
| Max Strus | SG | Tue, May 3 | Hamstring | Game Time Decision |
| Tyler Herro | PG | Tue, May 3 | Ankle | Game Time Decision |
76ers:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Joel Embiid | C | Sun, May 1 | Orbital | Expected to be out until at least May 6 |
Harden has continued to disappoint his fans with his subpar performances in the playoffs so far, and he would look to have a big game here.
Herro had a stellar performance in Game 1, and he would look to build on it to help his team get a commanding lead in the series.
Miami certainly will be the favorite to win this game and go 2-0 up in the series, as the 76ers are without their best player in Joel Embiid.
