Boston is riding a little bit of momentum after winning three straight, although beating a Knicks team with no Fournier or Kemba, and then the hapless Pacers twice isn\u2019t an incredible feat to brag about. The 76ers are a -3.5 favorite and the total is 210 and we\u2019ll see if those numbers provide us enough value to find a wager.<\/p>\n Boston Breathing Life Into The Season<\/h3>\nThe Celtics have struggled this year, but sometimes the smallest things can get a team to start clicking and maybe Boston gets going after winning three straight. There are no real trends for against the spread and\/or totals for the Celtics so I\u2019ll go back to when these two teams played earlier this year. Brown had a big game with 30 points, and Embiid went off for 41 points in a 108-103 win for Philly.<\/p>\n The rosters are similar, but Boston won\u2019t have Smart, but will have Horford and Williams although I\u2019m not sure they will offer too much more defense to Embiid than the previous game. Tatum and Brown have lead this team in scoring in 19 out of 20 games so expect them to play well\u2026but this is a big step up in competition as they haven\u2019t played a playoff team in 2022.<\/p>\n Philadelphia Piling Up Wins<\/h3>\nThe 76ers have been playing great since December 20th as they\u2019re healthy and rolling, and Embiid has been an animal scoring 31 or more points in eight straight games. The 76ers have been a solid under team this season as they are 24-15 to the under this season and 12-5 at home. Their defense has been solid all season as they rank near the top defending guards, forwards and centers so Boston will have to work to get points. Philly has held opponents to 103 or more in seven out of ten games, and I see more struggles for a Philly opponent tonight.<\/p>\n Boston Celtics at Philadelphia 76ers Prediction<\/h3>\nGive me the under in this matchup, but I can\u2019t tell you it\u2019s a big play for me. The books have these numbers pretty well dialed in, but Boston has had some bad performances on offense scoring 101, 99, 105, and 97 in four out of their last five. Outside of Embiid, nobody is stepping up on offense consistently, so I think there\u2019s value on the under<\/strong>.<\/p>\nInterested in placing a bet on tonight’s Boston Celtics at Philadelphia 76ers contest?
