The Boston Celtics have played at the 3rd-slowest pace in the league over the last 5 games.The 76ers have played at the most sluggish pace in the league over the last 25 games, which should lead to fewer opportunities for the Celtics.The Boston Celtics rank as the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games on the road (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra chances for scoring and assists).This matchup may be a strong one for getting to the free throw line; when the 76ers have the home court advantage, opposing teams have attempted a massive 23.6 free throws per game over the last 25 games (9th-most in the league).
