Teams Preview
Philadelphia 76ers Preview
Philadelphia closed the regular season with a 126-106 win over the Bucks. Tyrese Maxey scored 16 of his team-high 21 points in the third quarter to spark a decisive run, while Quentin Grimes added 20 points with four 3-pointers and Justin Edwards chipped in 17 off the bench.
The 76ers were without Joel Embiid, who is recovering from an appendectomy with no confirmed timetable for return. Philadelphia's bench outscored Milwaukee's 70-25, and the Sixers held a 54-48 edge in points in the paint.
The 76ers can be dangerous on any given night — Maxey is one of the league's best scorers, Paul George has been hot from three since returning from suspension, and VJ Edgecombe is playing above his draft slot as a rookie.
But Embiid's absence turns their ceiling from a serious threat to a collection of talented individuals hoping a couple of guys get hot. Maxey averaged 29.2 points and 6.9 assists per game this season, while Embiid posted 26.2 points and 7.5 rebounds.
The 76ers on average score 115.9 points per game they score 46.2% from the field and are ranked 23rd in the league, and 34.9% from the arc and are ranked 23rd in the league. The 76ers grab 43.6 rebounds per game and Ranked 17th in season.
Orlando Magic Preview
Orlando carried a five-game winning streak into the regular season finale, only to lose 113-108 to a Celtics squad playing without its top nine players, including Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.Jalen Suggs and Paolo Banchero each scored 23 for Orlando.
Suggs tied the game at 108 with a clutch three with 34 seconds left, before Luka Garza hit the go-ahead triple for Boston with 31 seconds remaining.The Magic couldn't convert on their final possession, and a game they needed slipped away.
Orlando is genuinely hard to figure out. Their defense has been legit all season ranking in the top tier of defensive efficiency and Banchero has grown into a reliable do-it-all forward. Since the All-Star break, Banchero averaged 26.1 points, 9.1 rebounds and 5.8 assists.
Desmond Bane joining the roster midseason gave them a proper offensive counterpart to lean on alongside Banchero. The Magic's problem is that without Embiid on the other side, Philadelphia becomes a different matchup, harder to guard, more guard-driven. Jalen Suggs (questionable, right knee) is another health concern.
The Magic on average score 115.7 points per game they score 46.4% from the field and are ranked 21st in the league, and 34.3% from the arc and are ranked 27th in the league. The Magic grab 43.4 rebounds per game and Ranked 19th in season.

PHILADELPHIA 76ERS vs ORLANDO MAGIC
Winning PredictionWe are backing the Orlando Magic to win this matchup as Embiid's absence gives the Magic an advantage in the interior which they can capitalise on and less offensive threats and more reliance on Maxey and George to do the bulk of the scoring.
