Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction & Picks - NBA

Prediction published on 11/11/25, 4:18 PM  by Erik Gibbs in NBA Picks

In the first matchup of Tuesday night's Coast 2 Coast NBA doubleheader, the Boston Celtics will take on the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center in what should be a competitive Eastern Conference battle. The Celtics (5-6) have split their first six road games and currently rank 11th in defensive efficiency. Boston's recent road trip has been a mixed bag, showing flashes of strong play despite inconsistency on both ends of the floor.

On Sunday, they earned a 111-107 victory over the Orlando Magic, bouncing back from a 123-110 defeat to the same team two nights earlier. Jaylen Brown led the charge in that win with 27 points, while Anfernee Simons contributed 25 off the bench in just 23 minutes, providing a much-needed spark for a team still finding its rhythm away from home.

The 76ers, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency over the past couple of weeks. They've lost three of their last four games but continue to perform well against the spread, covering in every contest but one this season (with a single push).

Philadelphia has faced the 26th-ranked strength of schedule, meaning their early record may not fully reflect their potential against tougher competition. Their most recent victory came on November 8, when they defeated the Toronto Raptors 130-120 in a strong offensive showing.
