Teams Preview
Boston Celtics Preview
Though the Celtics had been one of the contender sides over the years, they underwent a huge shake-up this season with Jayson Tatum’s last season injury. Though there are talks about his possible return, the side is already looking to stay competitive without their megastar behind team efforts. The side is once again back to its defensive best.
The 17-time champions boast a 120.2 offensive rating and rank second in the stat. They average 115 points and 24.4 assists per game. Impressively, the side has been very disciplined with the possessions and averages 12 turnovers per game. On the defensive end, the team has 7.4 steals and 5.4 blocks. The numbers translate to a 112.1 defensive rating (seventh in the league).
The Boston Celtics performed well at TD Garden, finishing with a 4-1 record. This stretch was highlighted by defensive dominance, including holding Milwaukee to just 79 points, and a massive offensive explosion against Brooklyn in their most recent home game.
Philadelphia 76ers Preview
Joel Embiid had been the Philadelphia franchise player for years, but missed too many games in recent seasons. In his absence, guard Tyrese Maxey took over the offensive duties. Coach Nick Nurse is looking to maximise production from the star duo and has a potent rotation on the team.
The 76ers average 116.7 points per game (11th in the league) and have a 115 offensive rating. The defensive rating also saw a bit of improvement with the big center’s return as the side now boosts a 0.8 overall rating, moving up to 14th place in the season.
After Embiid’s availability, the team improved to 43.4 rebounds per game but still ranks in the mid-table and also has 5.7 blocks per game, which is fifth best in the league, giving them an advantage in the paint region.
The Philadelphia 76ers achieved a 3-2 record. This stretch was highlighted by a high-scoring surge in late February, where the team averaged over 120 points per game on the road. Defensively they allowed more points than their season average though.
