What you need to know for Sunday's games
A quartet of playoff games opens with an NBA record 23rd playoff series between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics, tipping at 1 p.m. ET on ABC.
The 76ers enter Game 1 without Joel Embiid, facing the league's best defense since the start of February and the second-rated offense for the entire season. Good luck. That said, Tyrese Maxey is the only player averaging at least 30 points against the Celtics this year. The counter is Philly lives in isolation, while the Celtics are built to collapse and interrupt predictable actions. The 76ers' perimeter scorers will need to put on a show to make this game -- and series -- competitive.
