Previewing the Brooklyn Nets vs Philadelphia 76ers matchup

The matchup between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers is expected to produce some fireworks. With Joel Embiid fresh off a strong MVP campaign, the expectation is that he and James Harden will look to make a deep playoff run.

On the flip side, the Brooklyn Nets have proven that even after trading Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, they're still an extremely competitive team. With Spencer Dinwiddie, Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith and Nic Claxton, the team is eager to prove that they can compete with the best.
