Celtics at 76ers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
76ers 113, Celtics 108
Money line (ML)
The 76ERS (-190) beat the Celtics on Wednesday night by eight points, but expect this game to be a tad closer. Boston will still be without SF Jayson Tatum, but PG Kemba Walker has returned to the lineup and that gives the Celtics more scoring options.
Sixers Vs Celtics Line
The 76ers should win this game as they have now won three of their last four contests. But this is a heavyweight fight on Friday night that is must-see TV.
Against the spread (ATS)
The 76ERS -4.5 (-110) are the smart play against the spread as well in this game, given it’s only two baskets. Philadelphia has now covered in three of their last four games against divisional opponents. You could certainly go either way here, but the 76ers appear to be the sharp play on Friday night.
Celtics Sixers Line
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 222.5 (-110) is the right play here as the Celtics won’t have their leading scorer on the floor. Both defenses are allowing just over 110 points per game and we know these divisional games can tend to be a bit of a slugfest. Take the Under here as both teams could struggle to score more than 110 points.
