On Wednesday evening, the Boston Celtics are hosting the Philadelphia 76ers for Game 2 of their second-round playoff series. 

For the game, both teams have finalized their injury reports and starting lineups. 

The 76ers have upgraded Joel Embiid to available, and no one else is on their injury report, so they are fully healthy for Game 2.  

As for the Celtics, they will be without Danilo Gallinari, while All-Star forward Jaylen Brown and 2022 Defensive Player of The Year Marcus Smart are available.

The starting lineups for both teams have been relayed by Underdog NBA. 

Via Underdog NBA: "Lineup alert: Sixers will start Harden, Maxey, Harris, Tucker, Embiid on Wednesday."

Via Underdog NBA: "Lineup alert: Celtics will start Smart, White, Brown, Tatum, Horford on Wednesday."

The 76ers won the first game by a score of 119-115 on Monday evening (also in Boston).  

2018 MVP James Harden carried the team with 45 points, as they were playing without Embiid.

They will now have Embiid back in the lineup and and an excellent chance to take a commanding 2-0 lead back to Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4. 

In the first round, the 76ers swept the Brooklyn Nets, while the Celtics defeated Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks in six games. 

The winner of the series will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals and face off against either the New York Knicks or the Miami Heat.

That series is tied up at 1-1, and the Heat will host Game 3 in Miami on Saturday afternoon.
