76ers’ Paul Reed on Knicks First-Round Series: “That’s the Easier Team”

With the Philadelphia 76ers' win over the Miami Heat in the play-in matchup, Philly has earned the 7 seed and will face the New York Knicks in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

On Thursday's Run It Back, Reed said that winning the game against the Heat was important to face the Knicks because, "that's the easier team."

FanDuel Sportsbook seems to agree with Reed as the 76ers are listed at -122 odds to win the series despite being the lower seed while the Knicks are +100 to move onto the second round.
