Edgecombe and the 7th seeded Sixers will take on the second seeded Knicks.

The Sixers were eliminated by New York in six games two years ago, but that’s now a moot point because two years ago, Philly didn’t have VJ.

The teams split the regular season series 2-2 where VJ averaged 19 points, 3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 33% from three.

Game one tips off tonight night in New York, with games two through four set for May 6, 8 and 10.

Meanwhile, Deandre Ayton and the Lakers face the defending champs and top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder.

OKC dominated the season series, sweeping all four games by an average margin of more than 29 points per game, and Ayton averaged 5.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.
