Should Celtics Worry About 76ers?

With the tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks in the rearview mirror, the Boston Celtics train their sights on the last marquee matchup remaining in the 2022-23 regular season against the Philadelphia 76ers. Though some of the suspense of the regular season has been dimmed by the Celtics’ failure to deliver against eminently beatable opponents late in the stretch run, a win over the Sixers would go a long way toward preventing a slide to the third seed while throwing some much-needed momentum Boston’s way.

And Philly could very well be an obstacle between the Celtics and a return to the 2023 NBA Finals, too, depending on how they are playing and the health they are in once the postseason is underway. How dangerous are the 76ers in the playoffs for Boston? Are they trending towards full health for a change at the end of the season?

What else should Celtics fans want to know about this iteration of their Atlantic Division foes? To answer all of these questions and more, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast — powered by Fan Duel and Better Help — linked up with Ky Carlin of Sixers Wire to get us up to speed on everything we need to know about Philly ahead of their Tuesday meeting and potential playoff series.
