The Boston Celtics will play host to the Philadelphia 76ers at their home arena of TD Garden this Sunday (Mar. 1) evening with a notable name still on the injury report. Despite this, the Celtics will be looking to get back to having a win streak to their name.
The Sixers have some injury concerns of their own to sort out, but will be looking to defend their current win streak even a bit banged up, so this ought to be a compelling game. We are expecting a Boston win for this game, but Philadelphia has the horses to steal a win if the Celtics are not vigilant.
