NBA: Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat Injury Reports, Predicted Lineups, and Starting 5s

On Wednesday night, the Philadelphia 76ers will face the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at FTX Arena. After losing Game 1 92-106 in Philadelphia, the 76ers will try to avenge themselves by stealing a win on the road. Tobias Harris led all scorers with 27 points on 61 percent shooting from the field. James Harden and Tyrese Maxey, on the other hand, struggled to convert shots on a consistent basis. Tyler Herro made the most of his opportunities in Game 1, scoring 25 points in just 30 minutes off the bench. Bam Adebayo had a double-double in the win, scoring 24 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.

The 76ers will need to win Game 2 to avoid falling behind two games to none. The team's lack of Joel Embiid has put them at a significant disadvantage, to begin with, but they must still find a way to win without him. Harden is expected to hold down the fort until Embiid returns, which may happen in Game 3.
