The semifinals of the NBA Playoffs in the Eastern Conference has been finalised for several days now and they finally get underway this evening with a mouthwatering series.
The Raptors and 76ers have not faced off in the playoffs since 2001 when the series went to a Game 7 with Allen Iverson led the franchise to victory.
The series could well end in a similar fashion this time around, with both teams being backed to make the NBA Finals.
There wasn’t much between the two teams during the regular season, with Toronto finishing just ahead of them.
For Toronto, they’ll be banking on Kawhi Leonard to come up big for them and hoping the home advantage gives them the edge.
Philadelphia meanwhile have an abundance of talent to get them over the line, but Joel Embiid’s knee problem has caused them issues in the playoffs.
He will likely be a gametime decision again, meaning pressure will be on Tobias Harris, Ben Simmons and Jimmy Butler to deliver.
Expect an explosive Game 1 to start the series. Find out how to watch it live.
