Miami Heat vs. Philadelphia 76ers Series Prediction: Will MVP Snub Propel Joel Embiid?
I wanted to add a series bet for all of you, so I am writing up this article today to give you guys an easy winner at + money. Who doesn’t love that? The Miami Heat vs. Philadelphia 76ers series has quickly flipped from 2-0 to 2-2. The reason for that? The real MVP in the form of Joel Embiid.
Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers Series Prediction
Embiid missed the first two games after he took an elbow up high from Raptors forward Pascal Siakam. The Heat did their thing and beat a short-handed Philly team in South Beach. Philly has answered back with two dominant wins at home led by Embiiid. James Harden turned back the clock last night, dropping thirty-one points and hitting multiple massive shots in the fourth quarter for Philly every time Miami made a run.
There was some news announced today. That news was that Nikola Jokic won league MVP. Joel Embiiid looks like he will finish second in league voting. That just might fire up Embiid, who is playing thru two injuries to go off the next few games.
I am taking Philly to win the series at + money. I am judging this series off of what I have seen with number twenty-one in the lineup. It is not close when Embiid is on the floor. He has dominated Bam Adebayo, and Philly has done a great job on every Miami player not named Jimmy Butler. The energy that Philly is playing with right now with Embiid on the floor is going to be too much for the Heat.
The Heat simply don't have the size to match up with Embiiid. Kyle Lowry has played in the last two games, but it looked like he got re-injured last night. I will be surprised if he goes in game five, and even if he does, he is nowhere near one hundred percent. I believe Philly goes into Miami tomorrow and wins and gets it done in game six at home. Let’s cash this live series bet in!
