MIA vs. PHI Dream11: Hello NBA fans! How have you been? We are getting closer to the title race every day and have had our fair share of intense playoff battles so far. The issues between the Bucks and Celtics and the Grizzlies and Warriors are tied at one apiece now. However, the Miami Heat will enter with a one-nil lead against the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semis.
The 76ers missed Joel Embiid in the series opener when the Heat beat the visitors 106:92 thanks to a terrific 25-point performance from Tyler Herro. The Heat did a great job defending and after the 76ers built a one-point lead in the first half, the Heat’s response in the second half was incredible.
Host: Miami Heat
Visitors: Philadelphia 76ers
Match schedule: May 5 at 05:00 (+05:30 UTC)

NBA projections, statistics and analysis
76ers collapsed without Embiid
The 76ers not only lost their main Center Embiid in terms of scoring, but his rebounding was also heavily compromised in the last battle. They shot a horrible 17.6% from 3-point range as the Heat outrebounded them 47:37. The Heat did a great job sealing off the perimeter and the 76ers had to go through what the Hawks did in the First Round, a complete denial of perimeter opportunities.
The Heat continued to struggle from the field, shooting 25% under par from 3-point range, but they capitalized on 17 of their 18 free throws. They also did a great job of making 92 field goal attempts, 13 more than the 76ers. Tyler Herro led the effort through his incredible scoring and if he continues the same way, the Heat will be very difficult to deal with here. The 76ers looked lost in the second half and were outscored 56:41. The same can be repeated if Harden continues to fight.

*Stats from last game*
Jimmy Butler (MIA)
Points: 15
Rebounds: 09
Assists: 03
Steals: 02
Jimmy shot just 5/16 from the field in the last game, but had a great defensive and rebounding performance, as usual. I expect him to be in the 22-28 point, 5-9 rebound and 4-8 assist range here. He is a candidate for Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy script.
Expected Fantasy Point Range: 35-50
James Harden (PHI)
Points: 16
Rebounds: 09
Assists: 05
Harden made just 2 of his 7 3-point attempts in the last game, which has now become a persistent problem, while his 5 turnovers didn’t help either. However, I expect a range of 18-25 points, 7-11 assists and 5-9 rebounds here.
Expected Fantasy Point Range: 39-55
Tobias Harris (PHI)
Points: 27
Rebounds: 06
Assists: 01
Blocks: 01
Harris had a solid shooting game, making 11 of 18 attempts, while his rebounding will also be huge without Embiid. I expect him to be in the range of 21-26 points and 7-11 rebounds.
Expected Fantasy Point Range: 26-44
Bam Adebayo (MIA)
Points: 24
Rebounds: 12
Assists: 04

Adebayo did a great job, shooting eight of his 10 attempts and also making all eight of his free throws and leading everyone in rebounding. I expect a range of 20-26 points, 10-14 rebounds, 3-5 assists and 1-2 blocks/steals here.
Expected Fantasy Point Range: 30-46
Tyrese Maxey (PHI)
Points: 19
Rebounds: 00

Maxey made only one of his 3-point attempts in the last game, but he did a decent job of making five of his nine attempts from inside the 3-point line. I expect a range of 17-24 points here.
Expected Fantasy Point Range: 26-38
Tyler Herro (MIA)
Points: 25
Rebounds: 01
