Tyrese Maxey 76ers
Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics Picks and Prediction: Five Points of Respect for Maxey in a Series That's Never Been Decided by More Than Two

The Philadelphia 76ers (33-26) travel to TD Garden to face the Boston Celtics (39-20) on Sunday Night Basketball, tipping at 8:00 PM ET with Joel Embiid ruled out (oblique), Paul George still serving his suspension, and Jayson Tatum watching from the bench in a walking boot, as a line that opened at Celtics -4.5 has ballooned to -9.5 entirely on the Embiid news, presenting one of the more interesting fade-the-market spots on the March slate. Boston is coming off a 148-111 demolition of Brooklyn on Friday. Philadelphia just dropped 124-117 on Miami Thursday. Every single game between these two teams this season has been decided by two points or fewer, and the market is suddenly asking you to believe the fourth one won't be.

Clingan Trail Blazers
Portland Trail Blazers vs Atlanta Hawks Picks and Prediction: Injury Cloud Hangs Over Atlanta as Portland Rolls Into Town on a Back-to-Back

The Portland Trail Blazers (29-32) have no business looking dangerous right now. Damian Lillard is gone for the season, Shaedon Sharpe is in a walking boot for 4-6 weeks, and Deni Avdija has been in and out with a nagging back issue all month. On paper, rolling into Atlanta on the second night of a back-to-back against a Hawks team riding a three-game winning streak is a nightmare draw. The line opened Atlanta (-6) and has settled between -5.5 and -6 across most books, which tells you the market respects Portland's ability to hang around even at their most banged-up. It should. The Blazers are 8-4 against the spread on back-to-backs this season and 11-8 ATS as a dog of six points or more. Atlanta, meanwhile, just ran off three straight against Washington twice and Brooklyn. Sunday is a level-up game.
