The Boston Celtics will host the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden on Sunday night to begin the March NBA campaign.
Boston’s Jaylen Brown enters the matchup playing at an MVP-caliber level, leading the Celtics with 29.2 points per game — the fourth-highest mark in the league — while stepping into a massive role in the absence of Jayson Tatum. Tatum has been out for the season recovering from right Achilles surgery and is not expected to return until later this spring.
When the 76ers have a healthy Joel Embiid, they possess a defensive presence that can stifle even the best offenses in the East. However, the Sixers’ superstar center has been sidelined recently with knee management, leaving Philadelphia to rely heavily on the elite scoring of Tyrese Maxey, who currently leads the team in scoring.
Despite the injury concerns for both squads, these Atlantic Division rivals always bring a playoff-like intensity that makes this a must-watch matchup.
