Both franchises arrive with the same win / loss record: 15-15, which allows them to occupy the 7th and 8th positions in the Eastern Conference. If the regular season ends today, they should play the Play-in and it is for this reason that this game is important: whichever of the two that wins will catch up with the Charlotte Hornets in 6th position, the last one that allows direct passage to the postseason without playing Play-in.
On the home side, in their last 10 games their balance is 5-5. All 5 losses were against West teams, while of the 5 wins, 4 were before East teams. It seems the Celtics feel better playingagainst their own Conference teams. And precisely, this Monday they face a conference rival. The 76ers, after beating the Warriors 102-93, have had 3 consecutive defeats. They will go in search of the victories first against the Pelicans and then against the Celtics to surpass the Hornets at the top of the standings.
