PHI vs BOS Dream11 Match Prediction
PHI vs BOS Dream11: Since the start of the season, the Boston Celtics have been playing much better Basketball than what may have been expected from them, as they racked up signature wins and continue to do so, making their own ceiling higher with each passing week. But the last two games gaped open the holes in Brad Steven’s team, on both ends of the court, with the defeats once again highlighting Celtics’ height disadvantage.
Washington Wizards stifled the Cs’ offence, highlighting their dependence on Kemba Walker, while the San Antonio Spurs bombarded the defence with a fine execution of Gregg Popovich’s tactics inside the paint. Not many teams had a go at the Greens at TD Garden this season, but the Spurs did and caught the Celtics off guard. You would argue that the Spurs got everything clicked on the day, but it was the intensity that flummoxed Steven’s men more than anything else.
The Celtics are on a two-game losing skid now and will have to contend with another high profile opponent in the next game as the Greens hit the road for a regular-season matchup against Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia, on Friday morning.
The Sixers have had their own fair share of slip-ups this season, and the injuries can be blamed to some extent for the inconsistency. Still, considering the depth in the squad, the Sixers could have been a better value than the 24-14 return they show on the Eastern Conference table.
Fantasy Basketball – Head-to-head:
Since both the Sixers and the Celtics ply their trade in the Eastern Conference, there is a semblance of overfamiliarity between these two who have fought a mammoth 450 times before their next encounter.
