This NBA season, both the Celtics and the 76ers have been in terrific form. The two Eastern juggernauts will lock horns at 7:00 PM ET. Both sides have strong lineups, and it will be exciting to see if Jaylen Brown can lead his team to victory against Joel Embiid’s Sixers.
2. Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers
