NBA: Celtics vs. 76ers, 7pm EST UNDER 223.5 Total Points (-110) 1 unit (Fanatics)
Philadelphia has struggled with injuries to its stars and is currently on a five-game losing streak. Their offense was particularly poor against Brooklyn, and they were dominated on the boards. Paul George has struggled, failing to score 15-plus points in six straight games, with a season-low two points in his last outing. However, there’s a chance that Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey return for this game, which would provide a significant boost. Boston, on the other hand, has won seven of its last eight games. They jumped out to an early lead against San Antonio, with Kristaps Porzingis playing well and Derrick White stepping up. Jayson Tatum has been in elite form, and the Celtics should get Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown back in action after missing recent games. Given Philadelphia’s struggles and Boston’s recent dominance, I expect a low-scoring, controlled game where the Celtics dictate the tempo.
