Match Preview: Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers
The Miami Heat will face the Philadelphia 76ers on 8th May 2022, in what will be the 4th match of their ongoing series in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.
Miami took a 2-0 lead in the series, but Philly bounced back in the 3rd game to cut down the lead to 2-1, and the upcoming 4th game could turn out to be very crucial for the outcome of the series.

Despite the loss in game 3 for Miami, Jimmy was sensational, and he would love to build on that to help his team win this crucial game for his team.
The chances of the 76ers to stay alive in this series largely depend on Joel Embiid, and he would be expected to carry his team past the Miami Heat in game 4 at home.
Philly has a slight edge to win this game as they are playing at home, and if they lose this one, the series might get over in 5 games.
