Boston Celtics at Philadelphia 76ers: Stream, lineups, injury reports, broadcast (10/16)

The Boston Celtics make the trip to Pennsylvania to face the Philadelphia 76ers

on their home court of Xfinity Mobile Arena for the final of their slate of four preseason contests ahead of the 2026-27 NBA regular season. The Sixers will likely be keen to exact some revenge on the Celtics after having lost to them in a huge, 144-106 blowout at TD Garden in Boston's second preseason game of the year.

The Celtics may also help that revenge along by sitting many of their better players as they tend to leverage their final preseason contest to explore their depth and training camp player capabilities. But with established big men in short supply for Philly for this contest, the Celtics might have a shot to win even if they do sit mot of their better players –

not that a preseason victory should be seen as especially informative.

Records, standing, and streaks

At present, the Celtics have a 3-0 record in preseason play after their blowout of the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday (Oct. 14) night.

The Sixers are the owners of a 1-2 record in preseason contests to date after losing to the Celtics 144-106 on Saturday (Oct. 10) evening.
