Sixers and Celtics battle for early top spot in Eastern Conference

It’s a battle for an early top spot in the Eastern Conference as the Philadelphia 76ers host the Boston Celtics on Wednesday evening.

The Sixers are currently on a five-game win streak after being led by Joel Embiid (with 48 points) to a dominant win over the Washington Wizards on Monday. Philadelphia has found a level of well-spread success to start the 2023-24 campaign. Embiid and Tyrese Maxey have thrived as both scorers and playmakers, Tobias Harris looks as efficient as ever and Kelly Oubre Jr. has been a very welcome addition to the Sixers’ cast.
