Joel Embiid’s knee sprain looms large over Eastern Conference pecking order

The Philadelphia 76ers handled business in the first round of the playoffs, securing the franchise’s first clean sweep since 1991.

They now await the Boston Celtics winner of the Celtics-Hawks series. As of today, the Sixers have the fifth-best title odds, coming in at +900.

That’s behind the Boston Celtics (+240), Milwaukee Bucks (+350), Phoenix Suns (+400) and Denver Nuggets (+850).

The Sixers championship odds had momentarily reached their season’s peak on DraftKings at +800 a couple times over the last few days, before dipping back down a bit.
