On Tuesday evening, the New York Knicks will host the Philadelphia 76ers for Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.

For the game, the Knicks could be without one of their best players, as Mitchell Robinson is on the injury report.

Robinson missed Game 4, so this would be second straight out of action (if he doesn't play).

If the 76ers win, Game 6 of the series will be on Thursday evening at the Wells Fargo Center.

Whoever wins the series will advance to the second round and face off against either the Indiana Pacers or the Milwaukee Bucks.

The 76ers also lost in the second round (to the Boston Celtics in seven games).
