Sixers vs. Magic play-in game: How to watch, lineups, broadcast info
The Philadelphia 76ers will play host to the Orlando Magic in the play-in game on Wednesday night.
The Philadelphia 76ers will begin their postseason run on Wednesday when they play host to the Orlando Magic in the play-in tournament, and if you're wondering how you can watch all the action live, you've come to the right place. The winner of this game clinches the No. 7 seed to take on the Boston Celtics in Round 1 while the loser prepares for a second play-in game.
The Sixers took two out of three from the Magic in the regular season and will look to continue that success in this matchup. Orlando is coming off quite an embarrassing loss in its season finale when it fell to the Celtics' third-stringers in a game that would have given the Magic home-court in this contest rather than going on the road. Led by Tyrese Maxey, the Sixers should take advantage of a Magic team that could be shaken by that type of effort in the finale.
