The seven seeded Philadelphia 76ers play the eighth seeded Miami Heat in the play in. The winner plays the two seed in the New York Knicks, and the loser plays the winner of the nine seeded Atlanta Hawks vs the ten seeded Chicago Bulls. The Sixers are led by MVP center Joel Embiid, with him back from his meniscus tear the Sixers should be able to hold for former Sixer in Jimmy Butler. Playoff Jimmy Butler will need to show up like he did last year in the playoffs in order for them to beat the Sixers, but maybe the pressure will get to him this year and he won’t show up and that will result in a loss for the Heat. Everyone excepts Jimmy Butler to play like an MVP in the playoffs, but to be perfectly honest he is not nearly as good as Embiid. That is what is going to happen for the Heat tonight- they are going to lose to the Sixers 108-96. Allstar guard Tyrese Maxey will outrun any player that is guarding him, and he will lead the game in scoring. Also, without Terry Rozier the Heat will be without a capable score and that will result them to score less points tonight. For all these reasons the Heat will lose this game and the Sixers will win, but the Heat will end up playing the Hawks and become the eight seed and will face the Boston Celtics.
