Miami Heat - 86.1 SIC Team Health Score
After jumping out to a 2-0 lead, the Heat had a lackluster offensive performance in Game 3 and need to take Game 4 to stay ahead in the series.
They have 7 players listed as questionable, but all are reportedly expected to play.
Kyle Lowry played in Game 3 for the first time since suffering a hamstring strain in Game 3 against the Atlanta Hawks.
Lowry was scoreless with 4 rebounds and 3 assists in 25 minutes played against the 76ers. He will likely still have limited mobility on defense as he recovers from the hamstring strain.
Dewayne Dedmon is a new addition to the injury report with a head cold. He's listed as questionable but is expected to suit up.
Philadelphia 76ers - 89.7 SIC Team Health Score
Joel Embiid made his triumphant return last game from the orbital fracture and concussion that kept him out a week.
He's listed as questionable to play, but the Pro Basketball Docs have no doubt he will suit up for Game 4.
His right thumb injury continues to be the main injury affecting him. He has hit just one 3-pointer since injuring his thumb and did not attempt one last game.
He also had 4 turnovers in 36 minutes. The thumb injury will continue to put him at risk for ball security issues.
Injury-Based Plays
Embiid U0.5 3s made - With the thumb injury affecting his accuracy from distance, Embiid has failed to make a 3 in four straight games.
James Harden O8.5 assists - The 76ers offense is entirely different with the big man back. In 15 of 21 games playing with Embiid Harden has had at least 9 assists.
Lowry U10.5 points - The Heat point guard is still slowed by his hamstring strain. He was scoreless in Game 3 and only attempted 4 shots.
