The Philadelphia 76ers shocked a lot of people when they took game one without Joel Embiid in the lineup. With or without Embiid in the lineup, Boston can ill afford to lose this game and go down two games to zero. This line is set without Embiid in the lineup. I don't expect him to play but if e does this line will surely drop. Even if he doesn't play, Philadelphia has shown they can win without him. I doubt Harden will get 45 again but they do have other players that can step up and score if needed. Boston has played tight games in the playoffs and has gone just 2-2 on their home court. Boston has not been blowing people out in the playoffs and i expect them to keep this one within the number even without Embiid in the lineup.

Play on Philadelphia.
