The Philadelphia 76ers have the roster to be a playoff team in the Eastern Conference, but a lot of those expectations revolve around the health of Joel Embiid. Embiid will turn 32 in March, so the window to get a Championship ring is not going to be open much longer. Embiid played just 39 games 2 seasons ago and was limited to 19 games last season. He will start the season healthy. The Celtics suffered a significant blow last season when Jason Tatum tore his Achilles tendon in the playoffs, effectively ending their hopes for a repeat. Boston threw in the towel, shedding a significant amount of salary, and there are numerous new faces on the roster. The Celtics won't look anything like they did last season, and many people are wondering where the points are coming from. Philadelphia is currently better off with a healthy roster, as Tatum, Porzingis, and Horford are no longer available. Make the play on Philadelphia.
