These players are also used to playing from a low ranking." Another set of matchups will be between the ninth-ranked Bulls and The tenth place and the Hawks are unfolding, and the Bulls have the home court advantage.
The Heat were the biggest dark horse in the playoffs last season. They also entered the playoffs play-offs, but lost to the Hawks in the first game, and then played the second playoff play-off game with the Bulls. After winning, the playoff spot is locked. As soon as the playoffs started, the Heat defeated the then-favorite Bucks without being favored by the outside world.

This season, the Heat continue to play in the playoffs. Can they repeat their magic? Heat core Butler said: "It will be very difficult to win at the 76ers' home court. They are a very strong team. But we are ready to face such a challenge. Our goal is to win the championship, so We have to beat other opponents. "

Due to knee injuries, Embiid only played 39 games this season, but at the same time his data was very good, averaging 34.7 points and 11 rebounds per game. If Embiid stays healthy, he will definitely be one of the top centers in the league.

Statistics show that when Embiid played, the 76ers had a record of 31 wins and 8 losses, but when he was absent, the team's record dropped to 16 wins and 27 losses.
Embiid said this in an interview not long ago: "I have not returned to 100% condition, especially mentally. I think it is far away." The current news is that Embiid can play in the playoffs. But no one can give an accurate answer as to what percentage of his condition he is in. Once Embiid is in poor condition, it will be difficult for the 76ers to win against the Heat.
The playoff play-off showdown between the Hawks and the Bulls has been determined with two rounds left in the regular season. The Bulls seem to be bound to win this victory. The Bulls were still "beating" the Knicks in the final round of the regular season when the outcome was irrelevant. Although they lost, it reflected their strong desire for the upcoming playoff play-offs. Coach Thibodeau said: "Although our ranking has been determined in the previous rounds, I don't think we should stop playing in the last few regular season games. This is not our team's style. We prefer to go all out in every game. "
