The Celtics and 76ers will meet in Round 1, something they've done many times before.
The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night in the NBA's play-in tournament to earn the No. 7 seed in the upcoming Eastern Conference playoffs.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (88) reacts during the second half against the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden. Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images76ers-Magic recap
--Joel Embiid did not play after having an appendectomy on April 9, but the 76ers still got big performances from Tyrese Maxey (31 points), VJ Edgecombe and Kelly Oubre (19 points).
--Philly hit 12 three-pointers in the win, shooting 34 percent. They also went 21-of-25 at the foul line (84 percent).

As for the Magic, they will have to play again on Friday night against the Miami Heat. The winner gets the No. 8 seed and the right to play the Detroit Pistons in the first round.
Will Embiid play vs. Celtics?
It's to-be-determined. All we knew was that he wasn't expected to play in the play-in tournament.
Embiid played just 38 games this season, but he remained productive, averaging 26.9 ppg and 7.7 rebounds. While the 76ers aren't as deep as the Celtics, a 1-2 punch of Maxey and Embiid is still something to watch out for if you're Boston.
