Prediction

Joel Embiid presence made a real impact in the team as they won both games at home, holding Miami to an average of 93.5 points per game on those games. Now they will play back in Miami where they have lost 7 of their last 8 games vs Heat. However the 76ers are riding some momentum and if Harden keeps playing like in Game 4 Miami will be in trouble. Take the 76ers to cover.
