Game Preview
Game two of the seven-game series between the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics is scheduled for Wednesday night in Boston. The Sixers won the first game, even though their star player, Joel Embiid, was absent, and they will aim to maintain their 1-0 lead. The game starts at 8:00 PM EST.
In the previous game, the Sixers exceeded expectations and won 119-115 despite Embiid’s absence. James Harden scored 45 points, including a crucial three-point shot that gave the Sixers the lead, and Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris contributed significantly to the team’s victory.
The Sixers have won all of their five playoff games so far and have been performing well in terms of points scored and field goal percentages, ranking high in 3pt field goal percentage. In the first game, they had an impressive shooting performance from the field and the 3pt range, but the Celtics outrebounded them by ten. Embiid’s status is unclear due to a knee-sprain.

On the other hand, the Celtics lost the first game, despite Jayson Tatum’s impressive performance of 39 points and 11 rebounds. Jaylen Brown and Malcolm Brogdon also scored well, but the team struggled defensively in the final minute of the game. The Celtics have been struggling with their defense throughout the playoffs and will need to improve.
It is uncertain whether Embiid will play in game two, and the Sixers may rest him to avoid further injury. The Celtics will look to improve their defense against the Sixers’ 3pt shooting and adjust their strategy to stop James Harden. Derrick White is expected to perform better, and the Celtics will aim to attack the paint.
No doubt we will have a hard-fought game 2 of this series. Despite winning the first game, the Philadelphia 76ers will have a problem with Joel Embiid, who has been one of their best players this season and is doubtful to play this game. The Boston Celtics will be looking to tie the series at home in a game where Marcus Smart is doubtful, but they still come in as favorites according to the oddsmakers.
