Prediction published on 30/10/2025, 01:43  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 31/10/2025 at 07:41 in NBA Predictions

The in-form Philadelphia 76ers will be out to maintain their unbeaten start when they welcome the Boston Celtics next in the NBA. Philly comes into this match sitting second in the Eastern Conference, whereas the Celtics are in 10th, 2.5 games behind. Read on for our prediction.

The Sixers are having an exciting start to the year and are one of a handful of teams still with a 100% record. Nick Nurse’s men have won all four of their matches, including against Boston, and have done so, averaging an impressive 129.3 points.

Rookie EJ Edgecombe has hit the ground running and, together with Tyrese Maxey, has formed an explosive backcourt. The two are averaging a combined 60 points a game, with Maxey leading with 37.5 a night.

Philly are coming off a 139-134 OT road win over the Wizards.

The Celtics seem to have found their rhythm after a torrid start to the year. After losing their opening three games, Joe Mazzulla’s men have now won two in a row to move out of the bottom two in the East.

The Celtics, who lost a close season opener at home to Philadelphia 117-116, defeated the Cavaliers 125-105 last time out.

Before that, they had earned their first win of the season by outmuscling the Pelicans 122-90. The Celtics have maintained the defensive rigidity from last season and have the second-best defensive rating.
