Command Analysis
Boston Celtics
USABoston Celtics are not letting Milwaukee to get closer to the top. Celtics still have a one-win lead, but sometimes they are not so successful. For example, Joe Mazzulla's men recently lost a home game to Phoenix (94:106). But in the following game the Celtics bounced back with a victory over Detroit (111:99).
Massachusetts team approached the Philadelphia clash with the strongest line-up. Jaylen Brown and Robert Williams are not 100% ready, but they will probably play anyway.
Philadelphia 76ers
USAThree days ago, Philadelphia suffered an unexpected defeat to New York. Doc Rivers' men failed to adapt to a slow tempo of the game, offered by the Knicks. Pennsylvania team lost the game by a 97:108 score.
Philadelphia will probably play against Boston without Joel Embiid. He is struggling with a left foot injury. He played in recent matches, but Doc Rivers might let his rest in the upcoming game.
