Boston had to start their season on the road, and it took a hard 107-93 fall at Philadelphia in the season opener on Wednesday. Point guard Kemba Walker finished with only 12 points in 34 minutes in his Boston debut. Walker, the Celtics' prized free agent acquisition, missed 14 of 18 shots from the floor. He'll look to bounce back in front of the home crowd as part of a revamped Celtics team that lost four of its top seven scorers from last year. Boston signed Walker to a four-year, $141 million contract during the offseason. Gordon Hayward led the Celtics with 25 points in the opening defeat.

Meanwhile, it may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Toronto held off New Orleans on Tuesday in its first game,130-122. Point guard Fred VanVleet scored a career-high 34 points, shooting 5-for-7 from 3-point range with seven assists and five rebounds. Power forward Pascal Siakam also finished with 34 points and 18 rebounds as he and VanVleet stepped forward to begin life in Toronto without departed NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard. Siakam was named the NBA's Most Improved Player for the 2018-19 season.
