The Philadelphia 76ers had the easiest opening round playoff series and while they managed to sweep the Brooklyn Nets they have Embiid likely to miss games here in the second round as he deals with a knee sprain. For this team to win without their MVP big man they are going to need Harden and Tobias Harris to both play great and for young star Tyrese Maxey to really start coming into his own.

Boston needed six games to finish of the Atlanta Hawks but made it into the second round without any significant injuries.

Take the Celtics at home here in game one as they have too much firepower and shoot well on their home court.
