There's something of a rivalry brewing between the Raptors and 76ers, who will meet in the opening round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs.
The series gets underway on Saturday, April 16 when the fourth-seeded 76ers host the fifth-seeded Raptors.
2022 marks the third time that the two franchises have gone head-to-head in the postseason and the first time since 2019, which many might remember as an instant classic.

This time around, things will look a bit different. For starters, the series starts in Philly, where the Raptors posted a 2-0 record during the 2021-22 regular season.
Game 1 is an opportunity for each team to make a statement.
While the Raptors look to steal home court advantage, the Sixers will look to provide a reminder that with Joel Embiid and James Harden, their title aspirations in 2022 are very real.
