The Heat had no issues taking care of the Sixers in Game 1 (check out Rob Parks breaking down the contest as part of his Key Points series). Miami did so without Kyle Lowry and despite a report indicating that the point guard might return in Game 2, Lowry will also sit Wednesday’s contest out because of his hamstring injury.
The Heat are heavy favorites to advance to the Eastern Conference finals with oddsmakers at PointsBet listing them as -600 to win the series (the Sixers are listed at +425).
