<p>The <strong>Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers</strong> clearly aren’t fond of each other, It’s been like that since the Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell era, andtheir recent history – both in the regular season and the <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a>playoffs – promises us a tough, physical matchup.</p>
<p>This time, the Celtics open up as favorites to take this series after the Sixers went through several ups and downs throughout the season. Moreover, <strong>Ben Simmons’ injury</strong> was a major blow for Brett Brown’s team.</p>
<p>Both teams entered the NBA bubble <strong>as dark horses to win it all out of the Eastern Conference</strong>. However, the Sixers logged a 4-4 record since the restart of the season. Boston, on the other hand, went 5-3.</p>

<p>Celtics and Sixerswere almost<strong> locked into the 3rd and 6th seed </strong>in the bubble, respectively, so they rested their starters and limited their minutes <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/nba-playoffs-2020-schedule-format-odds-and-how-to-watch-20200814-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ahead of the playoffs.</a> Now, it’s win-or-go-home time.</p>
<h2>Head-To-Head: Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers</h2>
<p>The Celtics hold the edge with <strong>58 wins i</strong>n the playoffs to the Sixers’ 47. Also, Brad Stevens’ team handed the Sixers a heartbreaking 4-1 victory in the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals the last time they faced off in the postseason.</p>
