PHI vs MIA Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat

PHI vs MIA Dream11: Hello, people who love to follow the star-studded affair of the NBA. How has the NBA fantasy scenario treated you these days? Some teams have surely turned it on these days and there are a lot more upsets from some of the squads that were getting washed out earlier. This surge in upsets and the elevation of teams has come due to developed team chemistry and with the season closing in, some players want to show what they are about and have learned this season. So, what version of the Philadelphia 76ers will we see as they take on the Miami Heat?

The Philadelphia 76ers are being touted as the title contenders and they have surely been bolstered by the inclusion of James Harden. However, the East is tightly packed this season and it will not be easy for the 76ers to make a deep postseason run. A weak bench and glaring depth have been a huge factor.

On the other hand, the Miami Heat stands at the top of the Eastern Conference but the team is like the 76ers in a tightly packed East so still to dub them as the favorite to make it out of the East looks tough. With the way things are going, the Heat is likely to seal the top spot but the race to the championship ain’t easy.

Host: Philadelphia 76ers
Visitors: Miami Heat
Match Timing: 22 March, @ 05:00 AM

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

The Eastern Conference picture
The Heat is too tight, especially from the second to fifth position. The rise of the Celtics has especially made the race trickier and there is a sense they can even challenge the Heat at this point for the top spot. Still, the Heat remains in a prime position to finish first in the East because they have three more wins and three fewer losses than the second-round Bucks. If we come to the second-fourth race, oh Lord! The Bucks, the 76ers, and the Celtics are all having almost similar records and their win percentage is 61-62% it is unclear which team will be the favorite to finish at the second position but with the way the Celtics are playing, perhaps they will be making a strong push for the second spot.

The 76ers played a grueling affair versus the Raptors but lost 88:93 as Pascal Siakam and a strong Raptors defense fended them off
The 76ers have been not winning as much as they did right after acquiring James Harden. One of the issues has been the immense lack of bench depth and there is a sense that it can end up hurting the team record ultimately. The other concern is the lack of coverage when there is an injury, an area which Heat has addressed better than any other team in the East. Philly will need to make a strong push from here because, in the Playoffs, there will be teams that have more experience and team chemistry at this point. While Embiid-Harden’s one-two punch provides high versatility, scoring, and rebounding, Maxey and Harris are going to be decisive factors for deciding the team’s trajectory considering the severe lack of offensive depth.

As expected, the Heat beat the Thunder 120:108 as Tyler Herro continued to pour 20+ points and the Heat decimated the Thunder by third quarter
The Heat has something that the 76ers lack and that is a huge depth. The team has been missing key players like Butler and Adebayo time and time again, but the offseason signings of Lowry and Tucker coupled with the rise of Herro and the improved play of Max Strus has transformed the Heat’s roster. Of course, the Heat balance on both ends weakens when Butler is out, but unlike many other teams, they can make do with their leader out of the fray. One area where the Heat has a lot of promise in the Playoffs is defensive and with the way the bench has performed, they can try out a lot of combinations. All in all, the Heat is the favorite to finish at the top of the Eastern Conference.
