It's time for the Wizards vs. 76ers live stream, make no mistake: this Philly team is still in the driver's seat. And on the other side of the court, we have a Washington squad trying to make history. Will it be the Sixers knocking on the door or the Wizards pushing the game beyond this NBA playoff live stream?

The 76ers were coming off two dominant performances. They built an 11-point lead early in the first quarter of Game 4 and looked well on their way to winning their first playoff series since 1986. Then their biggest fear came true. At the 4:43 mark of the first quarter, Joel Embiid collapsed violently after an attempted layup and began to wince in pain. He then left the game in the final minute and never returned. According to the Sixers, Embiid was suffering from "right knee pain"; ESPN reported that Embiid was a doubtful for Game 5 and will be evaluated further.

Washington defeated the Pacers 142-115 in the NBA play-in tournament to draw the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Wizards carried that momentum into the first round against the Sixers, scoring 62 points in the first half, despite the duo of Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook scoring just 20 points at the midway point. Beal came to life in the second half, scoring 23 of his team-leading 33 points. Westbrook played a game-high 43 minutes with 16 points and 14 assists.

Aside from Embiid and Harris, the Sixers, the top seed in the East, got big help from Seth Curry and Danny Green, who shot 6 of 13 from three. Ben Simmons also recorded a double-double. Ben Simmons, a Defensive Player of the Year finalist, had 15 rebounds and 15 assists.

The Sixers were 8-point favorites in Game 2. The over/under is 230.5.
