Philadelphia has been fueled by the torrid start of guard Tyrese Maxey, who is averaging 37.5 points and playing 43 minutes per night, along with standout rookie VJ Edgecombe, who is scoring 22.3 points with 5.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists through his first four career games. Philadelphia is biding its time until All-Star center Joel Embiid is back to full health and full minutes, as he averages 16.3 points and 5.0 rebounds in 21.0 minutes. The Celtics are on the upswing with back-to-back wins following an 0-3 start in the absence of their own star, Jayson Tatum. Forward Jaylen Brown rallied the troops Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, scoring a game-high 30 points and doing a bulk of the work in a big second-quarter run that staked the Celtics to a 75-60 halftime lead. Balanced scoring was the theme in the team’s previous win over the New Orleans Pelicans with six Celtics scoring in double figures.
