The Heat are 67-64 all-time versus Philadelphia during the regular season, including 43-23 in home games and 24-41 in road games. 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), is out. For the Sixers, Joel Embiid (thumb sprain) is questionable.

Sixers center Joel Embiid on stopping Heat forward Jimmy Butler: “We have to pressure. We haven’t done a good job on him. We just have to make him more [pressured] for whatever’s he’s getting. We have to have that same mentality playing against them, and especially him.”

Here's the prediction Tuesday's game from Moses The Hamster. He picks the Sixers. Moses' record during the postseason is 7-3.
