In-Season Tournament or not, this has been a bizarrely front-loaded schedule. The Sixers are in Boston tonight to take on the Celtics. It’ll be the third matchup between the rivals in less than 20 games so far this season.
With both teams taking a game in their two November matchups in Philadelphia, this is a big one in terms of getting the tie-breaker for playoff seeding scenarios.
This won’t be an easy one for the Sixers, coming off their worst loss of the year, losing 124-114 to the New Orleans Pelicans in a game that was not as close as the final score would indicate.
