@ 76ers: Win By Double Digits

 

Current odds:

Philadelphia 76ers: (-430)

 

• The spread for the game is Philadelphia by 8.5 points.

• LeVert paced a 59-point attack for the Brooklyn bench in Game 1 by hitting all three of his 3-pointers in 23 very productive minutes, putting forth a memorable playoff debut roughly two months into his return from a dislocated foot. “Any time you go through adversity like that it definitely makes the reward much sweeter,” LeVert told the media. Forward Ed Davis chipped in 12 points and 16 rebounds off the bench while starter Joe Harris contributed 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting.

• Embiid notched his double-double in just 24 minutes but he was clearly rusty, missing all five of his 3-point tries and making 5-of-15 shots overall while trying to keep up with Davis. “I’ll point exclusively to fatigue,” coach Brett Brown told reporters of Embiid’s issues. “It’s a lot easier running 3-point line to 3-point line than it is rim to rim. … We tried to play him in five-minute clumps and maximize that, but even that got the better of him from a pace standpoint.” Butler’s best scoring output since Dec. 7 kept Philadelphia in Game 1, while forward Tobias Harris was limited to four points — more than 14 below his average — in his first postseason game since 2016.

• Brooklyn made 24-of-26 free throws in Game 1. Philadelphia was 29-of-42.
