What to watch for as the Boston Celtics visit rival Philadelphia 76ers

The Boston Celtics gave us all a collective headache Saturday night when they blew another big lead to an LA team at home. Those were both games they should have won, and now they’re behind the 8-ball in the playoff picture.

The Celtics visit the now loaded Sixers in a bout for playoff seeding. The Celtics will be without their best player, so it’s unlikely they pull out a win. But hey, we’ve seen them do crazier things, so let’s break down some of the key components for Tuesday night.

Tale of the tape

Celtics: 35-21 (5th in East), 13-13 on the road, 1-11 on the road since last year without Kyrie Irving

Sixers: 36-20 (4th in East), 23-6 at home, 2-0 since acquiring Tobias Harris
