How to Watch Celtics vs. 76ers and Thunder vs. Trail Blazers Tonight

You can watch the Boston Celtics take on the Philadelphia 76ers tonight, Tuesday, November 10, at 8:00 PM ET on NBC or via live stream on Peacock. The matchup takes place at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia and marks the first time Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown face each other as opponents following a major trade.

The game carries heavy weight for both franchises as they battle for positioning at the top of the Eastern Conference. According to reports from NBC Sports and Yahoo Sports, the 76ers currently hold a 9-2 record and sit in first place, while the Celtics follow closely behind in the No. 2 spot.

The rivalry shifts to the Philadelphia court

For Jaylen Brown, tonight is a departure from a decade of familiarity. Brown spent his first ten NBA seasons as a member of the Boston Celtics, forming a storied partnership with Jayson Tatum. The duo combined for more games and playoff victories than any other pair during their nine-season run from 2017 to 2026.

Despite the shared history, Brown is maintaining a professional distance from the emotional weight of the matchup. Speaking to NBC Sports Philadelphia on November 2, the 2024 Finals MVP noted that he is focused strictly on the competition.

“It’s nothing to talk about. I mean, he’s on his side, I’m on my side,” Brown said. “Just playing basketball. Both of us are trying to win, so it’s nothing to talk about. Just check the ball up.”

Brown is currently averaging 22.3 points per game, placing him second in scoring for the 76ers behind Tyrese Maxey, who is averaging 26.9 points per game. Brown told NBC Sports Philadelphia that Maxey has been the primary leader for the team, stating, “Maxey’s been leading the way, 100 percent. He’s been here. This is his team.”

Eastern Conference standings and player stats

While the 76ers look to secure their first NBA title since 1983, the Celtics are attempting to close the gap in the standings. Jayson Tatum is leading the Boston offense with 27.1 points and 7.8 assists per game.

The following table compares the primary statistical leaders for both teams as of the current matchup:

Player Team Key Stat (PPG)
Jayson Tatum Boston Celtics 27.1
Tyrese Maxey Philadelphia 76ers 26.9
Jaylen Brown Philadelphia 76ers 22.3

The intensity of the Eastern Conference race is reflected in these numbers, as both teams have established themselves as elite contenders early in the season. The 76ers’ ability to complement Maxey and Joel Embiid has been a focal point of their 9-2 start, according to Brown’s recent comments.
