Philadelphia 76ers Second Round Playoff Schedule 2023 (Next Opponent, Game Times and Dates for Semifinal Series)
Updated:
The Philadelphia 76ers have officially advanced to the second round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs after sweeping the Brooklyn Nets in their opening series. Now the Eastern Conference's No. 3 seed prepares for the conference semifinals.
Here's everything you need to know about the 76ers' upcoming second round series.
When Do the 76ers Play Next in the NBA Playoffs?
After sweeping Brooklyn, Philadelphia had to wait a while to find out when its next game would be. After more than a week off, the Sixers will resume their postseason journey with the start of their second round series on Monday, May 1.
Who Will the 76ers Play in Round 2 of the Playoffs?
As the 3-seed, the 76ers face the 2-seed Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals after the Celtics dispatched the Atlanta Hawks in six games.
Philadelphia's second round matchup will be a typical best-of-seven series that follows the 2-2-1-1-1 format. That means the better seed (Boston) will host Games 1 and 2, plus Games 5 and 7 if those are necessary. The worse seed (Philly) hosts Games 3 and 4, plus Game 6 if that is necessary.
If the 76ers beat the Celtics to advance, they would then head to the Eastern Conference Finals with an NBA Finals berth on the line.
