2023 NBA Playoffs 1st Round: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Brooklyn Nets April 13, 2023 by Marc Jerbs

On Saturday, the Philadelphia 76ers will face the Brooklyn Nets in Game 1 of their best-of-7 series in their 2023 NBA Playoffs 1st round matchup.

Game time is set 1:00PM EDT at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA.

The Philadelphia 76ers are on a mission this season and a healthy Joel Embiid is playing in another level.

Joel Embiid has led the 76ers in another playoff run and he's out to bring his team straight towards the NBA Finals.

He got help this time with former Brooklyn Nets' player James Harden at his side.

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden were the former Nets' Big Three that they assembled to bring up the team for a championship run.

However, things did not go as planned as all three players ask to be traded.

The new core players of the Brooklyn Nets are all competent and defensive minded players.

They are now led by Mikal Bridges and they held on to qualify in the playoffs.

The sportsbook handicappers have installed the Philadelphia 76ers as the favorites to win over the Brooklyn Nets in Game 1 of the 2023 NBA Playoffs 1st round series.
