Raptors versus 76ers Game 7 keys: More on hold than only a gathering with the Bucks

TORONTO – The Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors head into Game 7 on Sunday (7 p.m. ET, TNT) with in excess of a spot in the meeting finals in question. 

The two groups have free operators – Kawhi Leonard for Toronto and Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris for Philadelphia – whose future might be predicated on the result of Sunday's diversion.

In addition, a Sixers misfortune may affect Coach Brett Brown's future with the group. Philadelphia's proprietorship bunch has exclusive requirements for the group. In this way, we'll see.

However, first of all. The champ of Sunday's amusement plays Milwaukee in the gathering finals beginning Wednesday.

The stars 

It's hard to envision either group winning without a noteworthy commitment from their top players: Leonard, Pascal Siakam and Kyle Lowry for Toronto and Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler, Ben Simmons for Philadelphia.

Drill down further, the Raptors need a gigantic amusement from Leonard and the Sixers need one from Embiid. The Sixers had the option to win Game 6 without Embiid overwhelming repulsively, despite the fact that he contributed with his barrier, bouncing back and pick-and-move diversion. His hostile is vital in Game 7 out and about.

Given Leonard's exhibition in the playoffs – he's been as great or superior to anybody in the postseason – it's just about surrendered he shows and creates in a noteworthy manner.

X-factors 

Each group has two or three players who can influence the result with a decent diversion. Siakam's here and there, inside-outside diversion has caused issues for the Sixers. He's been great however has wavered with his shot in two or three diversions.

We think about the absence of hop shot for Simmons, however when's he's speeding to the edge and passing, as he did in Game 6, Simmons makes the Sixers far better.

Three-point shooting will have some effect on this diversion so focus on the Raptors' Danny Green (38.2 percent for the arrangement on threes, 11-for-24 in the previous four amusements) and the Sixers' J.J. Redick (38.2% from somewhere down in this arrangement, 4-for-13 in the previous two amusements).

Experience 

Leonard has playoff experience from his time in San Antonio, and he was the 2014 Finals MVP. In any case, Raptors coach Nick Nurse is in his first season as a NBA head mentor. He's been on the seat as an associate for the playoffs, yet this is unique.

Steward has played in 65 playoff amusements, incorporating some enormous ones with the Chicago Bulls, including a Game 7 triumph. The Sixers' Brett Brown has never been in a Game 7 as the head mentor, however he has been on the Spurs' seat as a partner in critical recreations, including different Game 7s.

The two groups should draw on whatever Game 7 experience they can, particularly
