The first round of the NBA Playoffs concluded with thrilling Game 7s, shifting focus to the conference semifinals commencing Monday.

Joel Embiid's impact has been crucial for Philadelphia, especially in their comeback against Boston.
Beyond the team matchups, betting opportunities are emerging. De'Aaron Fox's assist numbers against the Timberwolves are a focal point for prop bets. His playmaking, amplified by Wembanyama's presence, presents a promising avenue for success in Game 1.
