The Philadelphia 76ers dropped game one to Boston 109-101. The 76'ers were led by Joel Embiid with 26 points and 16 rebounds. Josh Richardson and Alec Burks added 18 points apiece. Tobias Harris did a little bit of everything with 15 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists. They were down 11 early in the third and came back to take a lead but turnovers killed them as they committed 18 in the game.

The Boston Celtics took game one against their rivals and look to extend it today. The Celtics were led used their defense by Jayson Tatum with 32 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks. Jaylen Brown stepped up and put in 29 points and Kemba Walker added 19 points. They used their defense to force turnovers which helped them pull away in the fourth.

The 76ers are 5-13 ATS in the last 18 meetings overall against Boston. Gordon Hayward is out with an injury so their defense may not be as good as it was in game 1. Boston has a well-rounded team and will be able to make up for Hayward's absence. Philadelphia has not been the same since Simmons was lost for the season. Game one was Philly's chance. Boston rolls in this one.

Play on Boston.
