What can we expect when the Celtics play the Sixers on Christmas Day?

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Boston Celtics will face the Philadelphia 76ers on Christmas Day, a matchup that will pit the two arch rivals against each other in a spectacular duel. On paper, the Sixers will obviously be a much improved team next season.

Daryl Morey has added Reggie Jackson, Andre Drummond, Caleb Martin and Paul George to the roster, so if they are healthy, the Sixers should be able to hold their own against Joe Mazzulla's team, especially on the wing defense, where Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown will likely take turns guarding George.

In the latest episode of the Vitamin C podcast, hosts Adam Taylor and Tim Sheils discuss potential matchups between the Celtics and Sixers. They explore which team has the advantage, which bench is stronger, and how the Celtics can try to take advantage of Joel Embiid on both sides of the ball.
