The Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics are set to battle it out at Xfinity Mobile Arena in game six of their first-round 2026 NBA playoffs series. The Celtics lead the series 3-2. Here's our match prediction.
The Philadelphia 76ers have been very competitive throughout the first round of the 2026 NBA playoffs. The home team has won two of their last five matches against the Celtics and still have a fighting chance to level the series and force a decider.
After suffering back-to-back defeats against this opponent, the 76ers stopped the slump in their recent match, securing a much-needed 113-97 on the road.
Joel Embiid was the standout player as he posted a game-high 33 points and was two assists shy of a double-double (8AST). Tyrese Maxey also played an important role in the team's success, posting a double-double with 25 points and 10 rebounds.
The Boston Celtics lead the series 3-2. However, they need to be careful not to lose control of the series, with the 76ers gaining confidence at a crucial stage.
In their recent match, the visitors suffered a 113-97 defeat in front of their home crowd. Before this, they had won three of their last four matches, including two consecutive wins.
The Celtics are on the road seeking a return to winning ways. It shouldn't present a real challenge, considering they've won their last two matches against this opponent.
