The Sixers ‘X’ Factor

James Harden has stepped up in two out of four games. However, he now needs to step up in two out of three games as he is the ‘X factor’ that will determine the outcome of the series. It is unclear how his ankle is holding up after playing so many minutes. The same goes for Joel Embiid's knee. Additionally, Maxey, Harris, and Milton need to step up their game a bit. The question remains whether they are capable of doing so.
