Celtics -4.5 is the play here with both teams being very matched offensively and defensively, but the role players for the Celtics trump those on the 76ers team. We literally watched Philadelphia give up a huge lead against the Knicks because of the poor bench depth and neutralization of the Philly stars Embiid and Harden late in that game. Celtics are a team that will grind the entire game as well, and hit deep shots at a high clip to dismantle the slow methodical gameplan the 76ers may have to keep Boston off the fast break and into a possession by possession game. Boston has only lost to NY and Phoenix in the last 5 games at home, and have dismantled Philly this year in the last meeting of this season 126-117 in Boston. Celtics are the better rebounding team and will be so again in this matchup with Joel focused on the Offensive aspect as Robert Williams and the other sizeable players for the Celtics dominate the boards.

Official Play: Boston -4.5

Side Bet: Robert Williams over 8.5 Rebounds
