This one is for the kids.
The Philadelphia 76ers, once again, boast one of the strongest, youngest lineups in the entire NBA and all eyes will be on Jahlil Okafor as the former Duke standout makes his league debut on Wednesday night.
Okafor averaged 10.4 points in his five preseason games and the game-ready center should be a big-time boost for the 76ers offense. After all, Philadelphia notched a league-low 40.8 field goal percentage last season.
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics look to improve on a playoff-appearance last year, building on their young core of Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley, Jared Sullinger, Marcus Smart and Jae Crowder.
Philadelphia won just six games on the road last year and lost all four meetings with the Celtics, who won 12 of their final 17 games at TD Garden.
Tip-off for the matchup is slated for 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast locally on CSN. It will also be shown on NBA League pass in out-of-market areas. Here’s how to watch the game online and on mobile:
