The Nets changed in a big way when they traded both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant at the deadline, but they did just enough down the stretch of the season to make the playoffs as the No. 6 seed.
Their reward? A first-round matchup with Joel Embiid's No. 3 seeded 76ers.
While Irving and Durant were still on the team for two of the four games the Nets faced the 76ers in the regular season, Philadelphia swept the season series. The 76ers had a different leading scorer in each game.
Will the 76ers continue to dominate the Nets, or can Brooklyn figure out a way to slow Philadelphia down?
Here's everything you need to know to watch the 76ers vs. Nets in the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
