In the regular season, the Celtics played against the 76ers three times, and the advantage of the Celtics was 2 wins 1 loss. However, it should be noted that Owen played in the two games they won, and Owen did not play in the lost game because of injury.
From the lineup, the Celtics without Owen have no advantage over the 76ers. They have Embiid and Simmons, and their role players have performed very well. After Owen's injury, the Celtics played great overall basketball, but in the playoffs, the role of the stars is beyond doubt. For the Celtics, their advantage is defense. They will use Horford, Baines and others to limit the big inside, but the inside and outside lines of the 76ers are very balanced, so it is difficult to completely limit them.
However, the Celtics have home advantage in this round, and the performance of the 76ers at home and away is obviously different. They are invincible at home and occasionally fall into a downturn on the road, but in the last round against the Heat, the 76ers performed well on the road.
This round will be a stage for young people, including rising stars Simmons and Tatum, as well as rising stars like Jay Brown, Embiid and saric. We will wait and see the result.
