Philadelphia 76ers Game 1 Matchup Preview
The Sixers will begin their NBA schedule with a matchup against the Boston Celtics. These historic rivals are looking to continue establishing themselves among the league’s premier teams.
Joel Embiid should have an opportunity to feast on the Celtics’ little big-man rotation, as Robert Williams III will not be available for this game due to him being on the NBA injury report. It’ll come down to how Al Horford can hold his own against Embiid, but that will be no easy task.
Embiid can bully defenders in the post, but he also has the footwork of a guard and can drive down the lane with reckless abandon. The Philadelphia 76ers’ odds of winning this game remain very high.
