Wizards:
In this season, players have been down with a lot of injuries and Bradley Beal from the Wizards was one of them. He underwent a hamstring injury while playing against the Indiana Pacers in the play-in tournament.
Beal made a comeback by averaging 33 points in 41 minutes of play. The wizards defense was not on the same page as the next wizards player to score the highest points was only Russell Westbrook with 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 14 assists. Currently, they have 55.7 percent field goals.
Predicted lineup:
Bradley Beal– Forward
Rui Hachimura– Forward
Alex Len– Center
Raul Neto– Guard
Russell Westbrook– Guard
76ers:
The 76ers looked fresh at the gameplay since they had a week off before the playoffs round 1, while the wizards came fresh from the play-in tournament. Tobias Harris leads the tournament with 37 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists.
Joel Embiid was set back with foul trouble in the first half but he finished the game with 30 points with 30 minutes of playtime Seth Curry and Danny Green were knocking down shots and it was a great sign for the Sixers. With such a great line-up, the head coach, Doc Rivers making any changes for game 2 is hardly expected.
37 PTS | 6 REB | 2 STL@tobias31 had himself a day and posted a new playoff career-high.

Game prediction:
The line–up of 76ers is up to the mark with and if players like Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris keep on surpassing the Wizards they could see themselves go down with 2-0. A great effort will be required from Beal and Westbrook in game 2.
