Watch Celtics vs. 76ers Live Online.
A potential Eastern Conference Finals preview will take place when the Boston Celtics head to Philadelphia to face-off with the Philadelphia 76ers. With one of the better road teams in the NBA in Boston taking on one of the best teams in the league at defending its home court, something will have to give in this key clash in the East.
Boston plays the second game of a back-to-back after hosting the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday night. That’s a tough turnaround considering concerns about the health of Kemba Walker, who has missed time as of late due to illness. Fortunately for Boston, road games have not been a major concern, as Brad Stevens’ team has won four of their last five away from TD Garden and will look to earn its first win against the Sixers in three tries.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia comes into this game well rested with its last game being a 120-113 home win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. Josh Richardson led the Sixers in scoring with 23 points in that contest, as the Sixers pushed their home record to 17-2 for the season. Philadelphia has injury concerns of its own. All-Star big man Joel Embiid suffered a dislocated finger against the Thunder and will sit out this game as a precaution.
