We’ve got a classic matchup tonight fellas. The Celtics have historically gotten the better of the 76ers, and come off a sweep of them in last year’s first round of the playoffs. The 76ers have improved since last season, but at this point in the year, the 76ers have plateaued and the Celtics are starting to hit their stride. The Celtics have won their last 2 in blowouts and the 76ers lost their last game against Memphis. Embiid is back but it seems as though they are still figuring things out. The Celtics big 3 is figuring out how to play together and with home court advantage, I definitely think they have an edge. This is a big game so expect the big players to have big games. Take the Celtics +2, Kemba Walker over 18.5 points, Kemba Walker over 2.5 made threes, Jayson Tatum over 2.5 made threes, and Tobias Harris over 19.5 points.
