The Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics will battle it out at TD Garden on March 1. The two teams have met thrice this season already, and the 76ers have prevailed two times. Both teams are coming off a win, but the Celtics are on a winning run after losing just one in the last six games.
The 76ers have won three back-to-back games after a losing streak of four games as the team looks to improve its position before the postseason. Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey have led the offense, and VJ Edgecombe has provided a perfect rookie addition to the roster.
76ers vs Celtics Injury Reports
While Paul George is out due to his suspension for doping violations, Embiid will also not be part of the rotation due to a right oblique strain. Tyrese Maxey is also labeled ‘Doubtful’ in the injury report. The 76ers will look to extend the winning streak and give themselves a chance to confirm their playoff spot.
The Celtics, on the other hand, look healthy and might play the same squad as last game. Jayson Tatum remains out. Jaylen Brown has taken over the responsibility of the team in the absence of another superstar. Moreover, White has extended the offensive floor along with Brown with his perimeter shooting.
