Underdog NBA: "Lineup alert: Nets will start Dinwiddie, Bridges, Johnson, Finney-Smith, Claxton on Saturday."
The series is currently 3-0 in favor of the 76ers, so they have a chance to sweep the Nets and be the first team in the league to advance to the second round of the 2023 playoffs.
After losing in the second round of the playoffs last year, the 76ers did an excellent job finishing as the third seed in the Eastern Conference with a 54-28 record.
As for the Nets, they are the sixth seed and went 45-37.
it's been a disappointing season that will likely end in the first round.
They began the year as title contenders with superstars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant on the roster.
However, both were traded in February.
Therefore, the Nets are essentially in rebuilding mode with a completely different team.
Whoever wins the series will face off with the Atlanta Hawks or Boston Celtics (the series is 2-1 in favor of the Celtics).
