After a well-deserved three-game home stand, Boston hits the road again to face the Sixers tonight and the Hornets in Charlotte on Saturday. The Celtics will be coming off a tough home loss to the Nuggets on Monday night where they just could not get the run they needed without Denver matching on the other end. The team will need to be able to overcome that adversity tonight if they stand a chance against a hot Philadelphia team playing some of their best basketball of their season.
The Sixers are currently on a five game win streak which included an impressive victory on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.
