NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

How can Butler and co. counter Embiid?

For the Heat, only Jimmy Butler has had some semblance of offensive production and he is yet to score below 20 points in the Playoffs. Adebayo bounced back from a poor effort in Game 3 and had a brilliant 9/12 shooting. The Heat shot just 7/35 from the three-point line and this has been one of their issues during the series. The Heat did a great job from the free-throw line, making 25 of their 28 free throws.

On the other hand, Philly shot 50+ % from the field and made 48% of their three-point attempts. James Harden nailed six of their total 16 triples and there is no doubt it was this performance that led the 76ers to an important win. On the other hand, Embiid had a strong 24 points and 11 rebounds effort while Danny Green had another impactful night, clicking on three of his four three-point attempts.

Maxey continued to sizzle against the Heat and extracted 18 points. On the other hand, except for Adebayo and Butler, the team struggled to find efficient production. Tyler Herro remains off from the field and made just 4 of his 12 shots and has been this way throughout the series. The difference between the two teams in the last four games has been the difference of scoring balance.

Jimmy Butler(MIA)
Points: 40
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 06
Steals: 02
Blocks: 02
Jimmy made 13 of his 20 shots in the last game and he has continued to be the offensive leader for the Heat during the Playofffs. He can do a lot more than just scoring and I expect a 26-34 points, 4-8 assists, and 3-5 rebounds range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 40-55

James Harden(PHI)
Points: 31
Rebounds: 07
Assists: 09
Steals: 01
Harden had his best game of the Playoffs and finally got it going from the three-point line while continuing to be a rebounding and playmaking factor. I believe he will be in 18-24 points, 6-9 assists, and 5-8 rebounds range. He is a candidate for Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 39-55

Joel Embiid(PHI)
Points: 24
Rebounds: 11
Assists: 02
Blocks: 01
Joel shot 7/13 in the last game and has helped out in two straight wins of the 76ers being an all-around factor. I expect a 20-25 points, 9-14 rebounds, and 1-3 blocks range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 34-44

Bam Adebayo(MIA)
Points: 21
Rebounds: 07

Bam was having trouble adjusting to the return of Embiid in Game 1 but had a huge impact on the offensive end in the last game, nailing 75% of his attempts.  I expect a 18-24 points, 6-10 rebounds, and 1-3 steals/blocks range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 28-38

Tyrese Maxey(PHI)
Points: 18
Rebounds: 03

Tyler Herro(MIA)
Points: 11
Rebounds: 10
Assists: 01

• Kyle Lowry(MIA) had 6 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals in the last game. Lowry’s offense has been horrendous in the Playoffs and he couldn’t even make one out of his six three-point attempts. I expect a 10-14 points and 4-7 assists range here though.
  Expected Fantasy Points Range: 16-26
