Philadelphia 76ers Preview
The Philadelphia 76ers have faced a lot of criticism in the last few weeks for their dip in form. After a stellar start to his stint in Philly, James Harden has been a bit rusty. However, he is focused on the task at hand and will hope to bring his best for the franchise during the playoffs.
Joel Embiid, meanwhile, has been wreaking havoc with his performances. The big man has overtaken LeBron James as the scoring leader and is also the frontrunner to win the MVP award. With 3 games left, Jojo will look to bring in his best performance to help the team end the season on a high note. That woukd also improve his chances of winning the prestigious MVP award.

Toronto Raptors Preview
The Raptors have been one of the best teams since the All-Star break. They have played with a sense of urgency, which is why they have climbed to fifth position in the East.
Pascal Siakam has been in incredible form. His game has improved a lot since his return from injury. Along with Fred VanVleet, they have done well as the leaders of the team. Gary Trent Jr. is another player that is making a lot of noise with his performances. Not only is he brilliant at the offensive end, but he has also put up a good showing at the defensive end.
