On Sunday afternoon, the eight-seed Wizards open a best-of-seven series against the one-seed Sixers in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. After advancing through the Play-In Tournament, Washington will move forward from an up-and-down regular season that was capped by an improbable turnaround in the second half. In front of them, they face a Philadelphia team that ranks top-10 in the league in both offense and defense and won all three of the teams’ previous matchups this season. Bradley Beal, who scored 60 points against the Sixers in January, Russell Westbrook and the rest of this Wizards team will have their work cut out for them.
