Leg 1: No Tatum will take some adjusting for the Celtics. But Jaylen Brown is still around and the team took preseason more serious than most. Philly has more questions without not just George, but top reserves Jared McCain and Trenton Watford. We’ll ride with the home team being able to corral Joel Embiid enough.

Leg 2: It’s Game 1 of a long season and Joel Embiid is one of the least-durable stars in NBA history. He played just 19 minutes of preseason action. The last two years he’s faced the Celtics four times, and been limited to 20 or less in two of them, and just barely hit over this number the others (27 twice).

Leg 3: Neemias Queta is the new starting Celtics center with Al Horford now in Golden State. He doesn’t have much experience getting big minutes, but he has been productive when he does. In six starts last season, he had seven-plus rebounds in four of them.
