Just a day removed from enacting their vengeance against the Philadelphia 76ers in another one-point nailbiter and winning their third straight game this season

The Boston Celtics face the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, Oct. 31, 2025 (10/31/25) in a regular season NBA game at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.

So far, the Celtics haven’t found a way to look like a contender without their star. Jaylen Brown (26.0 ppg) has picked up much of the scoring slack, but the loss of Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis has left this roster looking dangerously thin compared to last season.

The red-hot Philadelphia 76ers put a perfect record on the line Friday night as they welcome Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics in the group stage of the 2025-’26 NBA Cup.

The 76ers will be down a pair of rotation players as they face the Celtics at 7 p.m. Friday from Philadelphia. Paul George (left knee surgery) and Jared McCain (right thumb surgery) are both out for Friday’s contest as they have yet to play this season.

Last season the Celtics ranked 29th in the NBA in pace, averaging 96.59 possessions per game. This season they are also 29th, but coach Joe Mazzulla does not view this metric as an accurate representation of overall pace.

Eastern Conference powers get together for the first time Wednesday night in Boston, where the Celtics will play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
