Celtics vs 76ers Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
BOS Celtics +2.0(-110)

Celtics fans can breathe a sigh of relief as their team is finally off the mark thanks to 2 impressive wins over New Orleans and Cleveland. Next up, they’ll look to get revenge on the still undefeated 76ers, who won the first meeting between the 2 teams on opening day 117-116. Boston actually led by as many as 13 points in that game before falling short in the 4th. Tyrese Maxey will need to be kept under control here, as he went off for 40 points in that game, including 7 3s made. Boston has improved defensively since, now ranking 6th-best in opponent 3-point percentage. This has generally been a favorable match-up for them, as they’ve won 6 of the last 8 meetings.

As good as the 76ers have been so far, I think it’s time someone brought them back to Earth a bit. The backcourt combination of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe has been lethal, but I’m sure the likes of Jaylen Brown and Derrick White won’t make the same mistake again by allowing those 2 to go off for 74 points combined. The status of Joel Embiid is also up in the air as tip-off approaches, the Sixers might be better-off without him at this point. The euphoric start will have the Sixers faithful ramped up for this game, however, going back to last season, Philadelphia is only 2-8 SU in its last 10 home games.

With 18 and 21 threes scored in their last 2 wins, the Celtics have turned the corner. These 2 were separated by just 1 point in the first meeting, and I just cannot see the 76ers going up 2-0 in the regular season series here. Give me a revenge motivated Celtics to cover here.
