The Celtics will be featured during the NBA’s Christmas Day slate, and they reportedly get to open the season against the 76ers .
The Celtics and 76ers will play the first game of the NBA season on Oct. 18 at TD Garden, according to the Athletic’s Shams Charania. That season opener will be followed by the Lakers visiting the defending champion Warriors.
The Celtics will also face the Warriors for two Finals rematch games, per Charania — Dec. 10 at Golden State, and Jan. 19 in Boston.
Last regular season, the Celtics split their series against the Warriors — falling on their home floor and losing in Golden State.
