Our Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
There is no denying that the Celtics are the better side, and the 76ers are missing two important cogs in their arsenal in Embiid and Covington. However, the +12.5 line seems a little steep against a Philadelphia team that are 4-5-1 ATS in their last ten games. The Celtics should get the W here, but we feel the 76ers will get the cover. Our Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction: Philadelphia 76ers +12.5.
