To say that the next game is pivotal for both the teams would be an understatement for a lot more is riding on this particular fixture.
Not only a place in the Eastern Conference finals is on the line, but the result could affect the impending free agency which both the franchises will be willing to avoid.
Both the teams roped in a host of superstars, putting a lot of hope on this season. The likes of Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard and Tobias Harris are all on a short contract with their respective teams. So it’s highly likely that a negative result here could shape the shape of both the teams for the next season.

His playoff monster performances include a 37-point against Orlando Magic in the first round. A 45-point and a 39-point masterpiece in Game 4 in this series against the Sixers. it won’t be an exaggeration that he has outshone Jimmy Butler and Joel Embiid in this series.
