The Philadelphia 76ers will meet the Boston Celtics in the first game of their series in the NBA Playoffs. Philadelphia has battled injuries since the restart with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons out for the majority of their games. The Celtics had a 5-3 record in the bubble and have been playing quite well since the restart.
