T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers.

I like the Philadelphia 76ers to win this game against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. Opening night means two tremendous matchups. Starting the season off, Philly will travel to Boston to take on the 2021-22 Eastern Conference Champs. An up and down offseason saw Boston lose their head coach yet again. Now they'll have Joe Mazulla, last season's assistant, take over as the interim head coach. The 76ers worked hard all offseason to build James Harden and Joel Embiid's connection with each other. They will be a much improved duo that might take over the entire league this season. With the Celtics having been the East's best team last season, I expect them to come out a bit shaky with so much pressure to be the same this year. Philly has nothing to worry about except for proving to the league how good their team really is. Expect an upset on Opening Night.

T.M. Prediction: 107-101 76ers.
