The Philadelphia 76ers are in the playoffs following their play-in tournament win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday evening. They received a big performance from Nic Batum that swayed the game in their favor, and they are the No. 7 seed in the East heading into the playoffs.
That means they get a matchup with the New York Knicks who earned the No. 2 seed in the East. Led by dynamic guard Jalen Brunson and numerous physical players with great chemistry, the Knicks will be a challenge for Philadelphia.
With that being said, the schedule is out for the series and it goes like this:
- Game 1: April 20 at Knicks 6 p.m. EDT
- Game 2: April 22 at Knicks 7:30 p.m. EDT
