Additionally, the Heat have advanced to the Eastern Conference Semifinals for the 12th time in franchise history, including the seventh occasion in their last nine postseason appearances. It marks the first time in team history Miami will face Philadelphia in the semifinals, but they have faced each other in the First Round on two occasions, a 4-1 Heat win in 2011 and a 4-1 Sixers win in 2018..... For the Heat, Kyle Lowry (Left Hamstring Strain), Tyler Herro (ankle), Caleb Martin (ankle), Gabe Vincent (knee), Max Strus (hamstring) and P.J. Tucker (calf) are questionable. For the Sixers, Joel Embiid (eye fracture) is out.

Jimmy Butler on defending James Harden: “We have done a great job keeping him off the line, first of all, and making every shot tough on him. He is a superstar. He is going to make tough shots, but you can’t hang your head when he does. He has been putting the ball in the basket for a really long time. Maxey has been doing it at a really high level getting to the cup, making threes and getting to the free throw line, so we have to be better on that and see if we can get two in Philadelphia.”

Here's the prediction Friday's game from Moses The Hamster. He picks the Heat. Moses' record during the postseason is 5-2.
