Overview
- Game 4 tips off Sunday at 7 p.m. ET in Philadelphia with Boston up 2-1 after Friday’s 108-100 win led by 25 points each from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
- Boston reports no injuries for the first time this series, clearing Jaylen Brown after a late ankle scare and Derrick White after a first‑minute neck hit in Game 3.
- Philadelphia lists Joel Embiid as doubtful as he recovers from an April 9 appendectomy and says he has resumed individual on‑court work, while Kelly Oubre Jr. is questionable with right adductor soreness.
- The series has swung on 3‑point shooting, with the better team from deep winning each game as Boston hit 20 threes at 43% in Game 3 and Philadelphia shot 49% in Game 2.
- Embiid’s postseason on‑off impact (+17.1 points per 100 possessions) suggests even limited minutes could shift the series, while Tyrese Maxey continues to carry the Sixers’ scoring load.
