How to wager with ESPN BET
Boston Celtics (-172) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (+143)
Jayson Tatum and the Celtics head to Philly for a match up against Joel Embiid and the 76ers. These two are the top teams in the Eastern Conference so a win here will give either squad some bragging rights going forward.
Notably, this is a not an In-Season Tournament game so the result will have no influence on the $500,000 cash prize.
Both teams have had a hectic schedule lately but the Sixers are coming off a tough loss to the Pacers on Tuesday night in which they gave up 37 points in the fourth quarter and Tyrese Halliburton had 33 points, 15 assists and seven rebounds.
The intense schedule for both teams will be a factor in this one. Boston has been dominate when they play a team on a back-to-back with a day’s rest, going 10-1 against the spread. To bolster that stat, they’ve won 21 games in a row against teams on the final day of a back-to-back.
Additionally Boston is one of the few teams that can match up relatively well against Philly as the defensive length allows them to collapse the paint when Embiid gets the ball while still closing out strong on Maxey and other wing players.
To add insult to unfortunate injury, the Sixers will be without Kelly Oubre Jr. who is still nursing a broken rib after a hit and run in Philly Saturday night. Without Oubre Jr., the Sixers don’t have the same kind of depth and are missing some dependable points, which they’ll need against the Celtics.
With all that in mind, the Celtics are four point favorites on the road with the total at 224.5. Philly will be burnt out and Boston will take advantage, take the Celtics on the spread.
