Celtics(8-2) @ 76ers(8-2) Preview 76ers' Starting Five:

Celtics' Starting Five:

Officials:

TV: ESPN

Jaylen Brown and Porzingis both out for the game.

On paper, this should be a Sixers' victory, but we'll see if they can get it done on the court. Celtics gonna be fired up.

Cov turning garbage into gold with two early putbacks and 6pts in total.

Celtics are clicking early while the Sixers are trying to find their groove. Only 2 pts for Embiid/Maxey late in the first.

76ers are sleepwalking through the first quarter. Getting hurt in transition and badly outshot from 3pt range again.

Nurse needs to consider using Springer and KJ Martin. Furk and Morris don't give them much on either end.

And Springer enters the game and hits a three and then gets a steal and layup.

Cov still can't find his 3pt shot, but he's been the best Sixer so far tonight.

Bench scoring before Springer continues to be an issue. It was 10-0 before Springer's 3 and steal. That's still not enough support, as it's 14-7, now.

Maxey took too long to establish his offense, he continues to also not get respect from officials. Not only doesn't get an obvious foul but gets T'd up.

Genn, his mechanics aren't anywhere near what they were when he was a 76er. He doesn't finish as high and doesn't extend, he's flicking the ball at the rim.
