The Philadelphia 76ers took care of business against the Orlando Magic in their Play-In Tournament game to set up another chapter in their rivalry against the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics are one of the most dangerous teams in these playoffs, earning the No. 2 seed despite missing Jayson Tatum for most of the season.

Philadelphia has dealt with injuries of its own, including to Joel Embiid, who recently underwent an appendectomy. The 76ers lost three straight before taking down the Pacers and Bucks to finish the regular season.

Celtics Huge Favorites in Game 1

The Celtics finished the season with two straight wins and have won six of their last seven games. They’ve gone 15-5 since Tatum returned on March 6, including 13-3 in their last 16 games.

On the other hand, the 76ers have struggled to find much consistency this season. Since winning three games in a row to end February, they failed to win more than two straight games, going 16-11 in the final month and a half of the season.

These teams split the four-game season series, but the Celtics got a 114-98 win on March 1, which was their only meeting this calendar year.
