PHI vs BOS Dream11 Match Prediction
Sixers and Celtics have almost an identical start to the season but have been mired with injuries and COVID-19 threat, which has also caused postponements of fixtures in which teams were involved. Both teams have already learned to play through adversity and for Sixers, Shake Milton has stepped up his play to fill the void of Seth Curry. The Celtics will be bolstered by the return of Kemba Walker, while the Sixers will certainly gain a lot of confidence with Joel Embiid’s presence. The Sixers may edge out the Celtics on their home floor, as they have an advantage at the Forward and Center position since Jayson Tatum is not going to play in this game for the Celtics.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics, Key Players:
Joel Embiid
PPG: 25.0
RPG: 11.5
APG: 2.9
BPG: 1.5
SPG: 1.4
Embiid has been a force of nature this year and has helped the 76ers rack up wins both home and away. He has struggled with injury issues, but when he is on the floor, his two-way presence causes a lot of problems for his opponents. He didn’t participate in the last fixture against the Grizzlies but returned to practice for the Doc Rivers’ led Philadelphia 76ers. He can easily be considered as a Super-Player pick in the Dream11 Fantasy basketball scenario.

Jaylen Brown
PPG: 25.8
RPG: 5.8
APG: 3.8
SPG: 1.6
Jaylen has had an All-Star scoring season and will bear more responsibilities in this game with the unavailability of Jayson Tatum. Jaylen will need to put up efforts at the offensive end and take the mantle if they are to overcome a talented Sixers squad. He put up 25 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal in the Celtics’ loss.

Tobias Harris
PPG: 19.1
RPG: 7.1
APG: 2.9
SPG: 1.1
BPG: 1.0
Tobias has been a terrific presence for the Sixers at the Forward spot and continues to be consistent on both ends. He has acted as a second-option on the offensive end and will need to continue his stellar production. He registered 21 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal in the close loss to Memphis.
Ben Simmons
PPG: 12.3
RPG: 9.3
APG: 8.0
SPG: 1.5
BPG: 1.0
The scoring numbers for Ben have been down this season, which is a concerning trend, but his rebounding and playmaking abilities are still intact and he gives Sixers a lot of chops in those departments. He lodged 11 points, 16 rebounds, 9 assists, and 1 block in the Sixers’ loss to the Grizzlies, but will like to cut down on his 7 turnovers.

Sleeper Picks:
Shake Milton: Shake Milton has put the league on notice with his recent performances, he is averaging 16.9 PPG, and in his last 3 games has racked up 20+ performances. He registered 28 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals in the loss to Memphis.
Marcus Smart: The defensive PG has been consistent with 12.2 PPG, 5.6 APG, and 1.5 SPG. He is coming off 10 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals in the loss against the Knicks.
Tyrese Maxey: The rookie for the Sixers has shown promising signs and could be an integral piece moving forward. He has seen a rise in his minutes ever since Seth Curry is missing in action, he is averaging 11.5 PPG and 2.5 RPG. He bagged 12 points and 3 rebounds in the loss to Memphis, almost mimicking his season averages.

Note
Kemba Walker scored 9 points, dished 4 assists, and grabbed 3 rebounds in his return from injury.
Tristan Thompson is averaging 8.5 RPG for the Celtics.
Danny Green is averaging 9.6 PPG and 1.2 SPG for the 76ers.
