Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics head-to-head record
The Celtics have won four of their past five meetings, including a decisive 139-89 success in October 2024, indicating that they have dominated the series. Boston's most recent victory, a 118-110 triumph on the third of February 2025, gives them even more leverage in this game. The 76ers defeated the Celtics 118-114 on the 26th of December 2024, their only win during this time. Boston is the favorite in light of these outcomes because of their potent defense and effective scoring, particularly with Jayson Tatum at the forefront. They might have a shot, though, because Tyrese Maxey of Philadelphia has been performing well lately, scoring 28.4 points over the previous ten games. Although Boston's overall consistency indicates they have the advantage going into this game, the 76ers could challenge the Celtics if they can build on Maxey's performance and tighten up defensively.
