What you need to know for Friday's games
Friday night features a trio of big games. The first one sees the Boston Celtics on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers, fresh off the 76ers' upset in Game 2. Joel Embiid is doubtful to make his playoffs debut on Friday, but he wasn't needed on Tuesday when VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey combined for 59 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists to lead the 76ers to victory. The Celtics will have to make the adjustments coming into this game, and history suggests they will do so. The Celtics were 20-6 after losses this season, and are 59-13 after losses over the past three seasons.
