The game of the night this Tuesday is in Boston, where Celtics host their bitter rivals, the Philadelphia 76ers. The home unit is in one hell of a shape right now, beating rivals without problems, while Philly shows plenty of weaknesses, even though they sit near the top of the conference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three losses in the past five games are enough to say that the 76ers struggle. When we add that all the defeats came at home, that might give a hint about the current situation. Joel Embiid is out due to his injury, and the reigning MVP probably can’t help this team until the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This leaves the Sixers in a pretty poor situation because they don’t have the proper replacement. They were helpless against the Bucks in their previous appearance, losing 119-98. It was a routine defeat, with Nick Nurse’s unit failing to be competitive throughout the entire event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
