Season series: Celtics lead 1-0

The Celtics took down the Philadelphia 76ers 117-107 Wednesday without F Jaylen Brown and C Kristaps Porzingis. Both are questionable for Friday.

The Raptors were ripped apart by the Milwaukee Bucks 128-112 Wednesday. The Bucks were without F Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the Raptors still had no answer. F Pascal Siakam is averaging just 18.7 points this season, which is down from 24.2 last year.
