Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers predictions: Roundup of expert picks for NBA playoff series
The 76ers–Celtics rivalry is a National Basketball Association (NBA) rivalry between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics. The two teams have the most meetings in the NBA playoffs, playing each other in 22 series (including the 1954 Eastern Division Round Robin), with the Celtics winning 13 of them. The 76ers are considered to be the Celtics' second greatest rival, after the Los Angeles Lakers.

We all saw a motivated Joel Embiid walk into TD Garden in December and hand the Celtics 38 points. On that night, Embiid was spectacular, also posting 13 rebounds and six assists with just two turnovers. He gave the Sixers an elusive road win in a tough environment against a tough opponent.
Can he do that for four games and lead the Sixers to an upset over Boston? That’s a question that I don’t know the answer to. For that reason, I like the Celtics. Make no mistake, the games will be close and even without Simmons, I think the Sixers have a chance.
For the last week, the Boston Celtics have known where they'd slot in the Eastern Conference pecking order. The opponent they would face in the first round of the playoffs, however, remained a mystery, though the team had potential matchups in mind.
"We've been looking at Philly obviously with the idea that they're a likely opponent," said coach Brad Stevens. "And they're a heck of a team."
That foresight has played out as the Celtics get set to take on the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 1 of their best-of-seven series Monday near Orlando. Third-seeded Boston will face a familiar Atlantic Division foe in Philadelphia
