The Philadelphia 76ers will return to the floor on Thursday night for their Game 6 matchup against the Boston Celtics.

Heading into Thursday’s game, the Sixers found an edge. After starting the series off with an upset victory while undermanned and missing their MVP center Joel Embiid, the Sixers dropped their next two games to trail in the playoffs for the first time this season.

When the two teams returned to the Wells Fargo Center for Game 4 last Sunday, the Sixers picked up a one-point victory in an overtime thriller. Taking the series back to Boston tied at 2-2, the Sixers stunned the Celtics with their most comfortable win of the second-round series.

In the lead at 3-2, the Sixers have an opportunity to eliminate the Celtics once and for all on Thursday night. With a win, the Sixers would advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2001. 

If the Celtics manage to pick up the win on the road Thursday night, they will force a Game 7, sending the series back to TD Garden, where both teams would be competing in a do-or-die matchup.
