Round 2, ding, ding.
The Sixers will square off against the rival Boston Celtics for the second time this season. After falling to the Indiana Pacers Tuesday night, both teams will be coming into this nationally-televised matchup at 8-2.
Philly currently holds the tiebreaker as they won the first matchup between these two teams, 106-103. The Sixers could look considerably thinner than they did a week ago. They’ll obviously be without Kelly Oubre Jr. for some time after his unfortunate accident this past weekend, and they could be without Nico Batum, who missed Tuesday’s loss with personal reasons.
