What happened: VJ Edgecombe scored on a finish over a seven-footer during Philadelphia's game against Boston on NBC and Peacock. The 76ers host the Celtics in their first meeting since the Jaylen Brown and Paul George trade.
Why it matters: Philadelphia entered the game 9-2, atop the East, with Boston at 8-2. Edgecombe has been a steady presence in the rotation, with his two-way plays across the night, including a steal and dunk before halftime.
By the numbers: Edgecombe is averaging 12.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 2026-27 through 11 games.
What to watch: Philadelphia and Boston both enter the night with the top two records in the East, so the result carries seeding weight early.
