One of the NBA’s oldest rivalries will take center stage Wednesday, as the Celtics host the 76ers on Christmas Day.
It’s been one crazy ride for Philadelphia in the early goings of the 2024-25 season. Despite the injury troubles and off-court controversies, the 76ers have managed to win two of their last three games — both against the Hornets.
The same cannot be said for the defending NBA champions, the Boston Celtics, who have won three of their last four games. Boston has also maintained its spot as one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference so far this season — though they currently sit 2.5 games behind the Cavaliers.
