Philadelphia 76ers @ Boston Celtics, 5:30 p.m. (ET)
Watchability Scale: 4.25
The 76ers-Celtics matchup should be a great one as the Philadelphia 76ers are 22-12 on the season while the Boston Celtics come into the game with a 19-13 record. As good as these teams have been, both have fallen short of their preseason expectations.
The Celtics have struggled making their lineups work as the incorporate Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving back into the rotation while the 76ers have looked nothing like a true contender in the East. Philadelphia did make a trade for Jimmy Butler and he’s given them another scoring option as well as some much needed toughness.
Prediction: Joel Embiid steals the show with a 30-12 performance as the 76ers give Boston its fourth straight loss.
