After Philadelphia's upset loss to the Pistons, they are currently in fourth place in the East with a 46-30 loss. Although only 2.5 wins away from the First Heat in the East, staying in the Fourth Place in the East may be a good ranking, the US media listed Philadelphia's first round of the most likely to meet 4 opponents, the first choice against the inexperienced Cavaliers, against the Bulls and Raptors is also a good choice, the worst choice is to meet Durant and Irving-led Nets in the first round.
4) Brooklyn Nets
Philadelphia and the other top teams in the East, one team to avoid is the Brooklyn Nets. The showdown against Durant and Irving is not the best first-round opponent for a team looking to succeed in the Finals. Even more so now, Irving has been allowed to play at home.
You remember how the Philadelphia-Nets showdown unfolded not long ago. On top of that, Durant has been playing against them all year, averaging 30.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 7.8 assists in four games and shooting 52.9 percent from the field.
The Brooklyn Nets' roster is packed with ball handlers and shooting creators, which has given Philadelphia some weakness on the defensive end. While Embiid will succeed against the Brooklyn Nets due to their lack of size, they will perform better against multiple other teams.
3) Toronto Raptors
Heading into the playoffs, the Toronto Raptors are one of the biggest dark horses in the East, and they may not be true title contenders, but they will be a tough opponent for anyone who fights them.
The Raptors know what needs to be done to win in the playoffs, and there's no denying that it's going to be a tough series, but it's a round of games philadelphia should win. The Raptors can't restrain Embiid, which is the key to the Raptors' difficulty stopping Philadelphia.
2) Chicago Bulls
Injuries have caused huge losses to the Bulls' lineup, and the ball brother is still out, making the Bulls a suitable opponent for the first round. Philadelphia have had a huge success against the Bulls throughout the season, with a perfect 4-0 record in four head-to-head games. Embiid scored the highest score against the Bulls, averaging 32.8 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists in those four games.
While the Bulls still pose a threat, a lack of playoff experience is their obvious weakness. With the exception of DeRozan, the Bulls' other players are inexperienced in the playoffs. The combination of DeRozan and Lavin is not easy, but it's a series for Philadelphia that is very likely to win.
1) Cleveland Knight
Philadelphia's best-case scenario in the first round was against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers lack playoff experience, and a number of key players have been injured, Sexton has been reimbursed for the season, and the current interior twin towers Allen and Mobley are injured.
Like the bull, so is the knight?? Philadelphia's opponents were suppressed in the regular season, and they won all three games against the Cavaliers, embiid averaging 32.3 points per game and shooting 56.4 percent from the field. The Cavaliers without the Twin Towers could not restrain Embiid, and even if Allen and Mobley returned, it would be difficult to contain Embiid, so the first round of the Cavaliers was the most ideal outcome.
