|---|---|---|---|

| Philadelphia | Ariel Hukporti | Out, achilles | No timetable |
| Philadelphia | Dominick Barlow | Out, back | No timetable |
Philadelphia is without Dominick Barlow (low back stress reaction), Adem Bona (cervical spine sprain) and Ariel Hukporti (right Achilles tear). Boston’s only names on the league’s report are players on G League assignment or two-way deals, so the Celtics should have their regulars. They play in Toronto on Wednesday.

How the Celtics and 76ers compare this season
League rank out of 30 on this season’s box scores (10 and 11 games). Ratings are points per 100 possessions, estimated from the box score.
Boston has the second-best net rating in the league at +10.7 and ranks fifth in both offence and defence. Philadelphia protects the ball, second in turnover rate, but ranks 29th on the offensive glass to Boston’s fourth.
Maxey against Boston’s guards decides how close this gets. He averages 26.9 points on 60.7 true shooting, and Philadelphia’s offence ranks 21st, so it leans on him.

Score prediction
Celtics 112-108 76ers. Boston is 3-2 on the road and has won its last three by 7, 39 and 20. Philadelphia is 4-1 at home. We have the Celtics by four.
Celtics vs 76ers prediction
The Celtics are 7.7 points per 100 possessions better than the 76ers by net rating, and they win the battle on the glass.
The Canadian books make Boston a narrow favourite, about 52 per cent, and set the spread between 2.5 and 3.5, and since a Philadelphia team that went 4-1 at home could easily keep this within a basket, we’re backing Boston to win and leaving the spread alone.
Our pick: the Celtics to win. The spread runs from −2.5 to −3.5, too close to our four-point margin to bet.
What would change it: if Tatum were ruled out before tip-off, we would switch to Philadelphia at home.
