When the Nets open the playoffs Saturday in Philadelphia, all eyes will be on the big names. But the X-factors could be just as important.

Philadelphia’s James Harden and Joel Embiid have five scoring titles between them, while any hopes of a Brooklyn upset will likely hinge on huge efforts by Mikal Bridges and Nic Claxton, who have emerged as potential stars in their own right this season.

But playoff series are often tilted by a role player who either rises to the occasion or shrinks from it.

On both ends of the court, that could well be Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith, sore wrist and all.
