The seven seeded Philadelphia 76ers will face second seeded New York Knicks in the first round of the eastern conference playoffs. The Sixers beat the Miami Heat in the play-in. Sixers star Tyrese Maxey did not have his best game, but now we know for sure that we have players on our bench that can pick up the slack. For Example, Nico Batum scored a season high twenty points with six threes. With all these threes from Buddy Hield and Nico Batum we can out score Jalen Brunson and win. The Knicks do have O.G. Anunoby and Josh Hart who are more important to the Knicks winning in the first round than the Allstar forward Julius Randle. They rebound, score and pass better than him and with them healthy they are still a dangerous team to play even with Julius Randle out with a dislocated shoulder. With Sixers center Joel Embiid heathy, and a scoring bench, the Sixers will win and advance to the second round.
