Philadelphia 76ers BettingThe Philadelphia 76ers worked hard throughout the regular season and battled injuries and pandemic quarantine but still managed to be the top team in the NBA Eastern Conference heading to the playoffs. Joel Embiid is one of the two remaining MVP candidates along with Nikola Jokic in the playoffs and he is expected to lead the charge. Ben Simmons should look to match Russell Westbrookâs triple-double contribution and this NBA Defensive Player of the Year candidate will very much get tested. Tobias Harris, Danny Green and Seth Curry will help both players spread the floor with their three-point shooting threat. Players to Watch: J.
