76ers vs Celtics live stream: How to watch the NBA playoffs Round 1 series

We’re watching 76ers vs Celtics live streams to see the if Embiid and co. can halt the young Boston team in Round 1

76ers vs Celtics game 1 starts tonight at 6:30 p.m. ET (Monday, Aug. 17) on ESPN. See below for complete series details, including start times and channels (games will be on TNT and ESPN).

Tonight’s game 1 of 76ers vs Celtics live stream sees Philly at a bit of an advantage, having taken 2 out of 3 games of their regular season encounters. Don’t worry, Boston: Philly isn’t in pristine condition either, the Celtics won’t have to handle Ben Simmons, who’s out because of knee surgery. 

That being said, Philly isn’t in dire straits, as Joel Embiid and Al Horford fare more than well when they’re without Simmons. You’d not be crazy to favor them to advance past round 1, as last year they advanced until a semi-finals elimination by the Raptors, who took the whole NBA Playoffs.

This round 1 series would be the start of a whole new era, or so that’s what the Celtics are hoping for. The team has hopes of making it to the NBA Finals, after having been eliminated in the conference finals in both 2017 and 2018.

For Boston, their hope lies in the youth, with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, as well as Kemba Walker, to change their script. If you can think of past playoffs as a template for this year’s edition (which is totally different in every way), the Celtics have some chance, as they beat the 76ers in 5 games in the 2018 conference semis.

So, here is everything you need to watch the 76ers vs Celtics live stream today — and for the rest of this Round 1 series as well.

You don’t need to miss any minutes of the 2020 NBA Playoffs, even if you’ve left own « bubble » — or you’ve been hit by a dreaded local blackout.

With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won’t hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for.
