No injury for the major stars of both teams was reported, so it's a battle of healthy teams.

Who's gonna win the series, and why?

Joel Embiid has a thumb injury but he can manage to play well. Even if it is, it doesn't mean he is fully healthy. He is just doing his best even if he has that injury as no choice but to give it all in every game.

Now on who's the team I will choose, I will go to Philadelphia Sixers even the players of the Miami Heat is most deep.

The reason? Joel Embiid already has a heart-to-heart talk with James Harden discussing that he needs to wake up and goes back to his playoffs form. I hope that would awake the real James Harden who is a good performer in playoffs.

.... Who's gonna win the series, and why?

The Heat has the better roster from starters to bench. They have already proven in the regular season they can win against any team while their key players are out.

They main key for them is stopping or limiting Embiid from scoring and I think Adebayo is up for the task.

So what about Harden? I don't know about you but I believe Buttler is as good as him in offense but Jimmy is better at hustling and playing defense.

Heat in 6 or 7.

I will go with the Heat on this series. One question though, are the Heat healthy? I thought that Lowry is injured?

Anyhow, even if Lowry is injured or not, I will still bet on the Heat, in terms of experience, they already have it, the core of 2020 against the Lakers is still intact, plus they have a deeper bench than the Heat. As for the Sixers, they were extended by the Raptors and almost on the brink of elimination if they have lost the last game. So they are not built mentally, they have Joel Embid, but if you look at the series against the Raptors, if Joel is sitting and taking a rest, the team doesn't have a offense, and James Harden is inconsistent. As compare to the Heat wherein they have options like Bulter, Bam or even Herro and Robinson to shoot from outside.

You have a point there mate, the Heat has a deeper bench than the Sixers and the inconsistency of James Harden almost cost them the series against the Raptors, they are having a hard time producing points when Joel is on the bench, so I think the Heat have an edge on this series unless a major injury would happen to Heat stars.

It's a good series, looks like an ECF for me but I would go with the Sixers here.

Not because they have good odds but because I believe Embiid is still unstoppable and Harden has the experience to win in the playoffs.
Durant and Irving already rested early, it's Harden's time to prove that he is better than the two.

Same here, the Sixers big man have an undeniable talent that could really compete against any man on the Heat especially their center, Bam Adebayo and not to mention that there's a Harden on his side who's also a veteran in the playoffs. Miami Heat may own 1 game or two but that's it, sorry but I'm thinking that they will get eliminated this round.

Winding down.

So far, there's no underdog that have won in the 1st round, so let's see if there's an underdog that will win in the secord round.

They have even the 4 games this season so far, so this team really are competitive with each other.
However, let us consider the factor that Harden just recently traded to the Sixers, and I think Harden has not played a single game against the Heat in the regular season as a Sixer.
