The Celtics play their third home game after a 96:113 road loss to Orlando. The first two meetings ended in convincing victories for Boston. First, Joe Mazzulla's team was stronger than Atlanta's (113:103), and then Chicago's (124:97). The Celtics have a win-loss balance 14:4 and still lead the standings of the Eastern Conference.

The Seventy Sixers have also been without their big man lately. In the absence of the Cameroonian, Philadelphia lost the road game against New Orleans. Nick Nurse's team gave up 20 or more points throughout the game and could not come away with a serious victory - 114:124. The only player in Philadelphia's lineup was Tyrese Maxey, who scored 33 points.

Joel Embiid's participation in the upcoming game is in doubt. Philadelphia is a different team without him. However, even if Embiid plays, Boston will still be the game's favorite. Joe Mazzulla's team is on a powerful run through the league, leading the Eastern Conference and playing primarily with reserves. Boston could add more at any moment.
