The Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics are set to battle it out at Xfinity Mobile Arena in the third leg of the NBA Playoffs. The series is tied at 1-1. Here's our match prediction.
The Philadelphia 76ers finished seventh in the Eastern Conference standings. That was enough to guarantee them an NBA Play-In spot. In the play-in tournament, they beat the Orlando Magic 109-97, securing the No. 7 seed in the 2026 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs.
The 76ers' opening playoff match against the Boston Celtics was disappointing. The team suffered a 123-91 away defeat. In that match, Tyrese Maxey scored a team-high 21 points.
In the second leg, they avenged their earlier defeat, winning 111-97 on the road. Rookie Valdez Edgecombe Jr. made history by becoming the second player to score 30 points and 10 rebounds in a playoff game before turning 21.
The Boston Celtics will be seeking a return to winning ways after they failed to secure a second consecutive playoff win. Following a first-leg success against the 76ers, they found themselves on the receiving end of a 111-97 home defeat in the second leg.
Despite that setback, Jaylen Brown was the standout player, posting a game-high 36 points. As a team, they shot 39.33% from the field and 265 from the three-point range.
