With the tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks in the rearview mirror, the Boston Celtics train their sights on the last marquee matchup remaining in the 2022-23 regular season: the Philadelphia 76ers.
Though some of the suspense of the regular season has been dimmed by the Celtics’ failure to deliver against eminently beatable opponents during this stretch run, a win over the Sixers would all but lock the team into finishing no worse than second in the East. It would also inject some much-needed momentum Boston’s way.
And Philly could very well be an obstacle for the Celtics in their bid to return to the NBA Finals, depending on how it is playing and how healthy it is once the postseason is underway.
How dangerous are the 76ers in the playoffs for Boston? Are they trending toward full health for a change at the end of the season? What else should Celtics fans want to know about this iteration of their Atlantic Division foes?
To answer all of these questions and more, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast, powered by Fan Duel and Better Help, linked up with Ky Carlin of Sixers Wire to get us up to speed on everything we need to know about Philly ahead of their Tuesday meeting and potential playoff series.
