The Philadelphia 76ers are set to have quite the short turnaround following their game seven triumph over the Boston Celtics on Saturday night, as they’ll have to take to the court for game one of the Eastern Conference semi-finals on Monday night.

It’ll be an important factor to consider, given the physical and close nature of their 109-100 victory, with all their bigger-name players logging heavy minutes. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 45 minutes and 15 seconds of game time, while VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, and Joel Embiid all followed suit with more than 39 minutes of minutes played.

This would pave the way for some of the flashier scorelines, whether it was Maxey’s 30 points or Embiid’s 34 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists, which would be the driving force for Philadelphia’s victory.
