Miami has a 1-0 lead over Philadelphia in the series.
If Harden is able to elevate his game a bit, and some of Philadelphia's shooters knock down some shots -- something they didn't do much of in Game 1 -- the Sixers could tie the series up before it heads to Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4. Miami was able to win without Lowry in Game 1, and they'll look to duplicate that success in the second game. After dropping Game 1 to the Miami Heat, the Philadelphia 76ers will look to bounce back and even up in the series in Game 2 on Wednesday night.

On Monday night, the Philadelphia 76ers fired up their second-round playoff series against the Miami Heat on the road. As expected, the Sixers tipped off ...
Although they failed to overcome the big man’s absence in the first outing, the Sixers are confident they can turn things around and put up a good fight in Miami before the series heads to Philly for the first time. The Sixers were confident in their ability to implement the next-man-up mentality and steal a win in Game 1 on the road earlier this week, but nothing went according to plan. As expected, the Sixers tipped off the series without their superstar big man Joel Embiid on the floor.
The Heat took care of business on their home floor in the first two games of this series.
He played over 43 minutes and poured in a game-high 34 points on 12 of 22 from the field. He has not been afraid of the moment one bit and has had some huge nights against elite defenses. The Heat also got a big night from Victor Oladipo, who put up 19 points and six rebounds on 6 of 11 from the field. The defense was not good enough, James Harden was just solid, Danny Green went 1 of 10 and they got almost nothing from the bench. At the same time, the MVP candidate's absence put a lot of pressure on the Heat. They had to take care of business and prevent the Sixers from stealing a game before Embiid returned. The Heat now have a commanding 2-0 series lead and have put the Sixers in a real hole.

NBA Playoffs odds, picks, and predictions for the Miami Heat at Philadelphia 76ers on May 6. NBA betting free picks against the spread and Over/Under.
76ers predictions and picks in a single-game parlay, you could win $56.82 on a $10 bet? That would do a share of the heavy lifting for the Heat’s team total of 105.5 points. There have been no clear updates on Kyle Lowry’s status for Game 3 and Miami is in no need to rush him back from a hamstring injury. And while the Sixers stayed cold, the Heat made up for those misses with a 48% effort from outside on Wednesday. That’s panned out into 39 second-chance points for the Heat. Miami had just eight offensive rebounds in Game 2 after grabbing 15 in the series opener, but that was because it shot the ball so well that there weren’t as many rebounding opportunities on the offensive glass. Philadelphia may be ice cold from the arc but is still shooting better than 59% on 2-point field goals, and amassed 103 points in Game 2 despite a flailing 8-for-30 night from downtown. And with Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra likely sticking to his defensive game plan of pressuring Harden and Maxey the second they get over half, those kickout opportunities will still be there Friday night. The market will be a good indicator of Embiid’s status, so keep an eye on this spread and if it runs either way. The Heat are 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 road games. Throwing him back into action and facing constant crash-and-bash physicality in the post will only worsen those symptoms. Some books opened Philadelphia as a 1.5-point home underdog and saw early action move this spread over the fence to -1. Other shops opened the Sixers as 1-point faves and that jumped to +1 with Embiid’s status uncertain.
Miami HEAT vs. Philadelphia 76ers Friday, May 6 @ 7:00 PM Series Record: 2-0 Miami.
There might be some pieces from Game 2 that matter as the series goes on the road, but not tonight.Full Recap Tough to say how much of this one will carry over to the rest of the series if and when both teams get whole, but tonight it was the 76ers spending the evening looking for answers. They were still -11 when either center, DeAndre Jordan or Paul Reed, was on the floor and that’s the lack of Embiid, but they got downhill more often, pushed in transition and their shot quality was much improved.
Philadelphia's star center remains out as the Sixers face a 2-0 series deficit against the Heat.
It isn’t just the absence of Embiid, though, that has hurt Philadelphia in the series. The absence of Embiid has been felt by the 76ers in the playoffs on offense and defense, particularly in the interior. Miami has taken a 2-0 lead in 18 previous series, including the first round this season against Atlanta, and won those matchups every time.
Roberto Arguello breaks down Friday's Game 3 between the Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers and shares his best bet.
I like the Heat to eventually settle in and win this game — whether or not Lowry plays — thanks to the strong two-way play of players like Gabe Vincent, Oladipo and Max Strus. If Embiid can’t play, the Sixers need efficient nights from Maxey, Tobias Harris and Harden. Maxey broke out for 34 points in Game 2 with his elite speed, but he remains a liability defensively and the Heat have targeted him consistently. The Heat defense is designed to limit opposing teams from getting to the rim and consequently, they give up a high volume of threes. The good news for the Heat is that Lowry has been upgraded from Out to Questionable for Game 3 and will travel with the team to his hometown of Philadelphia. If the Heat continue to play with quality spacing and ball movement, it should open up opportunities for players like Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo to continue their success from Game 2. They made sure that Trae Young couldn’t get into the paint against the Hawks and they have similarly had all eyes on Harden and limited his ability to impact the game as a scorer.
