Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Celtics and the Sixers have been the two best teams in basketball, thus both representing a record of 8-2.
Boston enters play winners of three consecutive games.
The Celtics last loss came a week ago vs the 76ers.
Boston led most of the way early, but a strong second effort from the 76ers was enough to get them the win.
Joel Embiid was the star, scoring 27 points.
Kristaps Porzingis had one of his best games of the season, pouring in a team-high 26 points.
Jayson Tatum leads the Celtics in scoring this season. Tatum is making the case to be a top-five player in basketball right now, averaging 28.4 points per game.
Jaylen Brown is off to a strong start, averaging 22.9 points per game. Brown is questionable for tonight’s game with illnesses.
Veteran guard Jrue Holiday has made his impact on the defensive end while leading the team in assists with 5.5 per game.
The Sixers feel as if their new look team has the ability to compete for a championship.
Philly moved on from James Harden, landing multiple veteran pieces to bring off the bench as well as draft capital.
Joel Embiid will be in the conversation to win his second consecutive MVP this year. Embiid has averaged 33.1 points per game, which leads the NBA.
Tyrese Maxey is turning into a superstar this year. The former Kentucky Wildcat has averaged 28.4 points per game and a team-high 7.0 assists per game.
Tobias Harris is off to a strong start, scoring 19.9 points per game.
Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers Pick
I will sip on some juice and back the Celtics tonight.
Boston is in a great spot facing a 76ers team that is on a back-to-back tonight.
Embiid is listed as questionable, and even if he does play, he will not be as effective on a back-to-back.
I would be surprised if Philly starts the season 2-0 vs this Celtics team.
