In terms of 3-pointers, the Philadelphia 76ers's fantastic 38.2% rate of converted threes on the road comes in as the most in the league since the start of last season.This year when they are at home, the opposition's starting Cs have totaled 1.8 3-pointers per game (30th-most in the league) vs. the Celtics, designating this as a good matchup.The Celtics have played at the 10th-quickest pace-of-play in the NBA this year, which should raise plays for the {OPP_TEAM}.The Boston Celtics have given up the 5th-least offensive boards per game (9.8) in the league to their opposition since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).Joel Embiid should see an increase in productivity for all stats considering possessing the home court advantage in this matchup.
