We return to TD Garden for Game 7 of the NBA first-round Playoff series between the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers. The winner of this series will face the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Boston Celtics were 3-1 up in the series just a week ago, but back-to-back losses, including a 106-93 defeat on Thursday, see them now needing to get the job done in Game 7.
The C’s offence has experienced a significant downturn, failing to score 100 points in the last two games. Their three-point conversion has been a major contributor, as they failed to reach 30% in their three losses in this series.
In terms of personnel, Boston are at full strength but need major improvement from Derrick White, who is averaging just 8.7 PPG in this series.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have done an exceptional job in making life difficult for the Celtics from beyond the arc in this series. They are now on the verge of completing a comeback from 3-1 for the first time.
Tyrese Maxey scored 55 points, and Paul George added 39 combined in their last two games. However, Joel Embiid has been the standout since returning in Game 4, contributing massively in points, assists and rebounds.
The pressure is firmly on the C’s here. Embiid and Maxey are listed as questionable for the Sixers, though we are expecting both to be available come game time.

Our Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
Given how the Celtics ended the regular season, few would have expected them to be in this position. The pressure is now firmly on the hosts, and unless they can get their three-point shooting on track, this could be where they bow out of the Playoffs.
While the 76ers are still big underdogs here, they certainly have their confidence back after the last two games, and Embiid is reminding fans how much of a difference-maker he can be. With Maxey and George also firing, we fancy the visitors to take this one down to the wire. Our Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction is Philadelphia 76ers +9.5.
If your team in the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
