Among the 27 NBA teams that the Philadelphia 76ers have faced this year, they’ve won at least once against all but two of them: the Minnesota Timberwolves and Boston Celtics. They’ll have a chance to whittle that list down to one when the Celtics venture inside Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night.
Boston’s handled business at home against the full-strength Sixers twice this season, most recently dispatching of them Feb. 8, 106-99, despite missing numerous key players. This time, the injury report is a lot cleaner for the Celtics. Only Danilo Gallinari (left ACL repair), JD Davison (G League) and Mfiondu Kabengele (G League) are unavailable.
