The 76ers (27-21) own a 1 1/2-game lead over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.celticsblog.com/">Boston Celtics</a> and are winners of two of their last three, while the Spurs (32-14) have won three straight and are a top of the Southwest Division standings.</p>
<p>On Friday, behind 20 points from forward <span>Elton Brand</span>, the 76ers defeated the Celtics, 99-96. The victory strengthened Philly's lead in the standings, however, holding onto that slim margin will not be easy, as Philly hasn't earned a win in San Antonio since 2001.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Spurs are coming off a impressive victory over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/">Dallas Mavericks</a> on Friday. Using a 22-2 run and 12 points and 10 assists from guard <span>Tony Parker</span>, San Antonio blew out the defending champions 104-87.</p>
<p>Earlier in the season, the Spurs down the 76ers 100-90 at the Wells Fargo Center.</p>
