Overview

• Philadelphia lost 128-98 to Orlando on Oct. 10, with Tyrese Maxey pouring in 17 first-quarter points in just 12 minutes as Joel Embiid and Paul George sat.
• Dominick Barlow’s activity on the offensive glass (12 points, nine rebounds) strengthened his case for rotation minutes, while Kennedy Chandler posted 16 points, five assists and four steals for his third straight double-figure outing.
• Boston fell 107-105 to Toronto after leading by as much as 27, as end-of-bench lineups closed the game and could not hold off the Raptors’ rally.
• New Celtic Chris Boucher delivered 19 points and nine rebounds in a strong showing that drew praise from coach Joe Mazzulla, with Payton Pritchard adding 19 and Anfernee Simons 18.
• Jayson Tatum remained out with a torn Achilles and is widely expected to miss most of the season, while Boston evaluates a retooled roster that includes contributors like Josh Minott and rookie Hugo Gonzalez.
