On April 26, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued to unfold, and the series between the 76ers and the Raptors will usher in the G5 competition, and the current 76ers have a 3-1 lead. In the first 4 games of the two teams, it can be seen that the difference in strength between the two teams, especially the Raptors have also suffered injury trouble. In today's game, the 76ers also want to end the suspense, strive to win, and advance to the next round 4-1.
Before the game began, the 76ers updated the injury report, and Embiid's situation was still interesting, and his MRI results showed a torn ligament in the right thumb and requiring surgery. But Embiid doesn't plan to undergo surgery now, and he wants to wait until the end of this playoffs, and then he will come out with an injury, which is still very tough. In the starting lineup announced before the game, Rivers did not make adjustments, still Harden, Maxi, Green, Harris and Embiid.
In addition, this time the team's tough player Sebel can play, he did not go with the team in the previous 2 away games, and he is not eligible to participate in the game. He missed the race because he was not vaccinated, did not meet Toronto's epidemic prevention regulations and was not allowed to travel to Toronto. This time back on his home field, Sebel can play to help the team.
In the last game, the referee's blow penalty caused a heated discussion, and Embiid was also very dissatisfied after the game, first applauding and mocking the referee, and then publicly questioning the post-match remarks, which also made him fined $15,000 by the league. Still hope that the referee's blow penalty is less controversial, let the players decide the game, this playoff foul count is very large, yesterday the Warriors and Nuggets G4 blew 58 fouls, a game for 3 hours.
The Raptors are also in trouble this time, VanVleet is still unable to play, and the new star Barnes will enter the starting lineup. Judging from the situation of the two teams, the probability of the 76ers winning is still very large, and I believe that they themselves do not want the series to continue, as long as they defeat the opponent, they will advance to the next round 4-1, waiting for the winner of the Heat and the Eagles.
