Celtics vs. 76ers Predictions
The Celtics have the upper hand here, playing with momentum in their home building. That explains the 7.5-point spread despite these teams battling back and forth for the last few weeks.
Boston was able to get the job done with defense in Game 6, beating the 76ers in a low-scoring 95-86 contest in Philadelphia. The Celtics were able to make their threes down the stretch, outscoring Philly by a margin of 24-13 in the fourth quarter to claim the nine-point victory.
This could be another slugfest with starters from both sides seeing 40+ minutes in an elimination game. Philadelphia will look to slow the pace down and play in the halfcourt with James Harden and Joel Embiid. The over/under accounts for another low-scoring battle, as the number is set down to 203.
- Will James Harden score more than 0.5 points? It’s not a trick question! Underdog Fantasy has this “gimme” as one of their NBA prop offerings for Game 7. See how you can take advantage by reading our Best NBA Props Today article.
A lower total usually has us looking toward the underdog, especially given the spread is 7.5 points. Fewer total points reduce the risk of a blowout or one team pulling away completely.
Boston should win this game on its home court, but look for the 76ers to keep it somewhat close. We are expecting the 76ers to shoot much better this time around (especially from distance).
Let’s take Philadelphia +7.5 in this spot, which is playable down to Philly +6.
