On May 14, as part of the regular season, the NBA will host a game between the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia Sixers. We offer you a forecast for this match.
"Miami Heat»
Thanks to two consecutive away wins over Boston, the Floridians secured at least sixth place in the Eastern Conference, which avoids additional hassle. We're talking about the play-in round, of course. Now they are waiting for a game against Philadelphia ,which, frankly, is not very motivated.
Philadelphia Sixers»
In the last meeting, the Sixers lost to Indiana by a nine-point margin. "Philadelphia" can now breathe a little, although the first line in the East is not yet guaranteed for it. However, as practice shows, winning the conference does not always give an easier opponent in the playoff round.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
- Bjelica (illness), Oladipo (knee injury), Butler (eye injury) - Miami. Tibul (hand injury), Embiid (illness) – Philadelphia.
Statistics and figures:
- Miami has lost only once in its last seven games;
- Philadelphia lost for the first time in nine games;
- Miami has won three of its last five games against Philadelphia.
Forecast:
Bookmakers estimate the odds of the teams as approximately equal. And indeed, it seems a little strange to guess who will win here. We offer to bet on the total less. Why? Both teams have resolved issues with getting into the playoffs, and they are unlikely to spend their energy on attacking basketball.
