*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Tuesday, February 7th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Wednesday, February 8th.
Philadelphia 76ers
With a day until the trade deadline, the Sixers will be seeking to make minor tweaks to bolster their depth. Daryl Morey undoubtedly will be searching for a backup center, rebounding help, and like every team, 3-point shooting.
Matisse Thybulle’s name keeps coming up as a player the Sixers want to move and upgrade his position. Thybulle is considered a top-notch defender whose lack of offense is limiting the minutes he can play.
A team with an emphasis on fast break scoring would better suit the youngster and help showcase his best offensive skills.
Stats
This season, the 76ers score an average of 114.6 points per game ranking 14th. Philly shoots 48.2% from the field and 38.5% from the perimeter, ranking seventh and fourth respectively.
Defense is where the 76ers make their mark allowing the fourth-fewest opponent points per game with 110.9 and the best perimeter defense at 34.2% while ranking 14th for opponent field goal percentage allowing opponents to shoot 47.2%.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Joel Embiid, C (questionable — foot)
Boston Celtics
If there was ever any doubt about how valuable Marcus Smart is his recent injury provides that evidence.
Boston is 4-3 in the seven games he’s missed and while they got a bit of good fortune facing shorthanded teams (Lakers, Nets) and a tanker (Pistons) the stats took a hit on both sides of the court.
In terms of deadline moves, the Celts are among the deepest rosters but won’t rest on their laurels. Specifically, adding a backup center is on the agenda.
Stats
Boston claims the third-best point production averaging 117.6 points per game. In terms of efficiency, they shoot 47.3% from the field and 37.1% from the perimeter ranking 15th and eighth respectively.
Opponents average 111.6 points per game which ranked sixth. Celtics opponents are limited to 46.5% from the field and 35.1% from the perimeter which ranks fifth and eighth respectively.

- Jaylen Brown, SF (probable — illness)
- Robert Williams III, C (probable— ankle)

Free Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
This could be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals with both teams likely holding back a few things, especially how Doc Rivers plans to deal with Tatum and how Joe Mazzulla will try to limit Embiid.
That said, the 76ers are just three games back of the Celts so they’ll be covetous of evening up the regular season series.
