Added to the 76ers’ injury report early Saturday afternoon due to an illness, George logged 42 minutes in Game 7. While the final stat line wasn’t elite, his two-way abilities were a factor in the Game 7 victory that should not be overlooked. Solid defensively throughout, George shot 22-of-40 from three in the series. Philadelphia will need steady production from George on both ends of the floor in their second-round series againt the Knicks, which begins on Monday.

Edgecombe gave the 76ers vital contributions on both ends of the floor to help get the team into the second round. The rookie knocked down five three-pointers on Saturday, and his third-quarter defense on Boston’s Derrick White was also critical. After scoring 19 points in the first half, White was limited to two points in the third quarter, with Edgecombe taking on that assignment. His ability on both ends of the floor will also be important in the 76ers’ second-round series against the Knicks, which opens on Monday.

Maxey’s third 30-point game of the series helped the 76ers become the most recent team to erase a 3-1 deficit. The 76ers’ guard had a big night offensively, shooting over 50 percent from the field and dishing out seven assists. And with Joel Embiid hobbled late, Maxey scored eight of his 30 points in the final two minutes to help get Philadelphia over the finish line. Next up for the 76ers are the Knicks, with Game 1 scheduled for Monday night in New York.

Embiid recorded three double-doubles in the final four games of this series, helping Philadelphia eliminate Boston from the postseason for the first time since 1982. Boston called on Jaylen Brown to defend Embiid at times, with Neemias Queta providing the help, and the former league MVP managed to put up 34 points. There was an injury scare late, as teammate Tyrese Maxey fell into Embiid’s left knee, which led to him watching the final 20 seconds from the bench. Philadelphia won’t have much time to rest, as they visit the Knicks for Game 1 of that series on Monday.

The 76ers will be at full strength for Saturday’s series decider, as Embiid has been upgraded from probable to available. He’ll take on his usual role as the starting center, leaving limited minutes for Andre Drummond and Adem Bona off the bench.

Added to the 76ers’ injury report early Saturday afternoon, George has been given the all-clear to play in the series decider. And with the Celtics not having Jayson Tatum (knee), this sets up to be an excellent opportunity for George and the 76ers to complete their rally from a 3-1 series deficit.

George was added to the injury report Saturday afternoon with an illness. While it’s not a great sign that the 36-year-old small forward woke up sick on the day of Game 7, he’s still listed as probable. Still likely to play, George had 23 points in the 76ers’ win in Game 6 on Thursday.

Embiid is on the 76ers’ initial injury report for Game 7, but it would be stunning if the 7-footer were not on the court Saturday night. He finished Game 6 two assists shy of a triple-double as Philadelphia extended the series. Look for Embiid to take on his usual heavy workload as the 76ers look to beat the Celtics in a playoff series for the first time since 1982.

In his third game back on the floor, Embiid put forth another solid performance. He didn’t shoot the ball efficiently but still nearly found his way to the 20-point mark. The former league MVP made up for his inefficient scoring with good work on the glass and tremendous work as a facilitator. His balanced performance nearly led to a triple-double, which helped the Sixers force a Game 7.

Maxey’s scoring was a significant factor in the 76ers’ Game 6 win. He shot well overall, especially outside the arc, and also finished as one of Philadelphia’s leaders in assists on the evening. He had offensive help from several of his teammates, as well, which could be a key for the 76ers in a win-or-go-home situation on Saturday. They’ll likely rely heavily on Maxey, once again.

George reached the 20-point mark for the first time in the opening-round series on Thursday, which played a big role in Philadelphia forcing a Game 7. His biggest contributions came from beyond the arc, where he accounted for nearly half of the 76ers’ three-point total. The veteran forward also had some fine moments on defense during his 40 minutes. He’ll have a chance to log another strong outing on Saturday in the series-deciding game.

Anunoby’s 14-point first quarter helped set the tone for what would be a great performance by him, and a dominant win for the Knicks. A blowout victory limited him to just 27 minutes, but in his time on the floor, he filled it up from beyond the arc and captured his third 20-point game of the series. The veteran wing also collected five stocks in what was a fantastic defensive performance from New York. The Knicks will await the winner of the Celtics-76ers series.

Towns did a bit of everything for the Knicks in their one-sided win over the Hawks. In just 18 minutes, the veteran center posted team-highs in assists and rebounds, while his great production at the charity stripe led him to the triple-double. Like many other Knicks players, Towns’ defensive stats were also impressive; he notched four stocks on that end of the floor to help round out what was a fine overall performance. He finished the series with two triple-doubles.

Bridges was one of several Knicks players to perform well offensively on Thursday. He missed only two shots in his 27 minutes on the floor, and went perfect from beyond the arc before finishing as one of two New York players with at least 20 points. The scoring outburst was a welcome one, as Bridges had not reached double figures in points since Game 2. The Knicks will hope he can remain hot when they open up the second round against either the Celtics or the 76ers.

Robinson and Daniels got tangled up as OG Anunoby attempted a free throw during the second quarter of Thursday’s game. Shoving ensued from multiple players on each team as the situation briefly escalated. Both players were eventually ejected for their roles, leaving each team without key defenders.

On the heels of a 39-minute outing, in which he scored 33 points in Philadelphia’s win, the former league MVP will take the floor on Thursday with a chance for another strong performance. Embiid has battled injuries throughout the season, but his late arrival to this opening-round series has been difference-making. He’ll likely carry a heavy workload, as the Sixers try to avoid elimination.

The Knicks will have their do-it-all wing available for Thursday’s contest, as they attempt to close out the Hawks. Hart has played in all five games of the opening-round series, averaging 9.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. He’ll likely start and play an important role on both ends of the floor.

After playing 34 minutes in his return to the 76ers’ lineup for Game 4, Embiid logged 39 minutes in Tuesday’s Game 5 victory. He’ll likely take on a similar workload for Game 6 as the 76ers look to force a Game 7 on Saturday in Boston.

Hart is dealing with a lower back contusion, calling into question his availability for Game 5. However, given what’s on the lineup and his importance to the Knicks, it would be shocking if Hart was not on the floor as New York looks to close out the Hawks.

Anunoby has been excellent all series, and he has made his presence felt on both ends of the floor. He has averaged 20 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.2 blocks and 2.6 triples while shooting 56.9 percent from the floor through the first five games, which includes a double-double in both Games 4 and 5. He should continue to make a massive impact in Game 6 on Thursday as the Knicks look to close out the series.

The Hawks haven’t had much of an answer for KAT during this series, but the Knicks have leaned even heavier on him over the last two games, specifically as a playmaker, which has really opened things up for New York. They’ll continue to lean on him in Game 6 on Thursday, which should lead to a lot more box score production for him, and if things go how they did in this game, that’ll be enough to close out the series.

Brunson has made some big plays in this series and has had strong stretches, but his production overall has been subpar. However, this was by far his best performance, and the Hawks simply didn’t have an answer. He dominated this game and hit multiple big shots in the fourth quarter to put this game away and give the Knicks all the momentum heading into Game 6. If Brunson is playing at this level, the Knicks will have a chance to make a deep run this postseason.

George hasn’t had a big scoring night in this series, but he has been a consistent contributor on offense. That continued in this game, as he provided a well-rounded line in the win. George has been productive since returning from a 25-game suspension, and he has been able to impact the game on both ends of the floor, despite being past the point of his career where he needs to lead the team in scoring. The 76ers will need him to continue to play like this in Game 6 on Thursday.

Grimes didn’t do much during the first three games of this series, but after contributing 12 points and six assists in Game 4, he was able to make an even larger impact in this one. That contributed heavily to the 76ers securing the upset win in Boston to extend the series. Grimes was able to make an impact on both ends of the floor, and if he’s able to continue to contribute in Game 6, there is a strong chance this series will shift back to Boston for a Game 7.

Maxey took a backseat to Joel Embiid once again, but he still got enough touches and shots to stuff the stat sheet in the Game 5 win. He has scored at least 20 points in every game this series, which is a trend that will need to continue for the 76eres to have a chance to win. Game 6 will be in Philadelphia on Thursday, where Maxey will look to keep up the scoring. This was also his best rebounding performance of the season, which is a trend that will hopefully continue.

Embiid returned to the lineup in Game 4, and while the box score stats were strong, he wasn’t efficient as a scorer. He was much better in that regard in this game, which led to the 76ers getting their second win of the series in Boston. Embiid missed the first three games, but if he’s rolling like this with the series shifting back to Philadelphia, they could have enough momentum to come back from down 3-1, though they’ll need to win in Boston a third time. Game 6 is scheduled for Thursday
