In the head-to-head matchups between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics, there have been a total of 90 games. The hosts of today's match have won 30 times, while the guests have recorded 60 victories. The last game between these teams took place on November 9, 2023, and ended with a score of 106:103.
Philadelphia 76ers
Philadelphia lost Kelly Oubre due to an injury. Without him, the 76ers lost their match to the Indiana Pacers (126:132). Nick Nurse’s team was slightly let down by their execution, as they were not as effective as their opponents on that evening. Thus, Philadelphia suffered its second defeat of the season. However, this did not affect the team’s tournament position, as they still hold the second spot in the Eastern Conference.
Boston Celtics
Boston finished their home series of battles on a major note. In the last three matches, the team led by Joe Mazzulla did not give their opponents a chance and secured victories. In the previous game, the Celtics cleared the path of the New York Knicks (114:98). Regarding losses, Boston has almost none. The appearance of Kristaps Porzingis and Semi Ojeleye on the court is the only question mark. However, this should not have a significant impact on the Celtics’ game.
