Injuries will be the key theme of this series. With Kyle Lowry and Joel Embiid currently on the shelf dealing with injuries that will keep them out of tonight’s game, both teams are going to have to find ways to adjust. Philly losing an MVP candidate certainly puts Miami in favor of the win tonight, but in the playoffs, anything can happen and Philly is a hard-nosed, well-coached defensive that still has James Harden on its roster. The Heat have also dealt with sickness and recent injuries to their core group since winning Round 1 against Atlanta so it’s fair to say they’re not entirely in prime fighting shape right now.
