76ers and Celtics Face Off in Conference Showdown
The Philadelphia 76ers take on the Boston Celtics at TD Garden on Tuesday night.

The 76ers (33-24) continue to try to navigate the ongoing absence of their biggest star, and they've most recently dropped three of the last four games. Their most recent time on the court resulted in one of those losses, as they dropped a 119-98 decision to the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 24 points, adding seven assists, three rebounds and three steals. De'Anthony Melton supplied 16 points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals. Paul Reed furnished 13 points, eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks. Kelly Oubre Jr. delivered 12 points, nine rebounds, two assists and three steals. Buddy Hield managed 11 points, four assists and two rebounds.

The 76ers will list KJ Martin (ankle) as questionable for Tuesday's contest. Joel Embiid (knee) and Robert Covington (knee) will remain out.

The Celtics (45-12) were not slowed in the least by the All-Star break, as they'll enter Tuesday's game with eight consecutive victories. Their most recent success came at the expense of the New York Knicks by a 116-102 score Saturday night. Jaylen Brown paced the Celtics with 30 points, adding eight rebounds, three assists and one steal. Kristaps Porzingis totaled 22 points, four rebounds, four assists and one block. Jayson Tatum turned in 19 points, six boards, six assists, two steals and one block. Derrick White finished with 13 points, six assists, three rebounds and two steals. Jrue Holiday contributed 12 points, six assists, one rebound, two steals and one block.

The Celtics will come into Tuesday's game without any injuries to report.

Tuesday's game marks the fourth and final meeting between the teams this season. The Celtics own a 2-1 series lead.
