The Philadelphia 76ers are off to Boston to keep their playoff dreams alive in Round 1. The Boston Celtics are 3-1 up and have a chance to seal the deal tonight. However, after losing the only game to the 76ers on these very grounds, they know to bring their A-game unless it could be a 3-2 affair very fast. See our Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers match prediction below.
Following their win yesterday over Philadelphia (128-96), the Celtics have just one more game to win of the next three to reach the next round. In truth, they’ve been absolutely dominant in this tie, winning the latest game and the first game by exactly 32 points each.
Still, Philly’s only win came on at the TD Garden, with the 76ers winning 111-97, thanks to the heroics of VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey, who combined for 59 points. That pair will need to step up once more or travel back with the end of their playoff run.
Overall for the season, the Celtics have hosted the 76ers four times here. They lost two. And the 76ers will be banking on them to lose the next two and force a Game 7.
