Preview

The Sixers All-Star guard Ben Simmons sidelined following knee surgery.

"In the games that Simmons hasn't played, they're the No. 1 offense in the league," said Celtics coach Brad Stevens. "The spacing, the shooting around [Joel] Embiid posting, the ability to play big with both Embiid and Al (Horford). ... A bunch of shooters around them makes them very tough."
