After securing a Game 1 win in this series, Boston Celtics will look to take a comfortable lead when they host Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. Boston went wire-to-wire with the 76ers on Saturday afternoon to secure a big 123-91 victory. Jayson Tatum was the star of the show, scoring 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Jaylen Brown contributed 26 points and 3 assists. The duo will need another big performance to help Boston go 2-0.
Philadelphia 76ers, on the other side of the hardwood, struggled to impress throughout the night. They saw shot after shot clang off the rim, wilting their defensive energy and focus. The defensive attempt was simply not there, with none of their players making multiple threes. They’re now under pressure to produce a dramatic upgrade in Game 2 to salvage their playoff campaign. However, bookies aren’t convinced they can win, listing them as +525 underdogs.

Our Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Celtics will look to deliver another defensive masterclass and nullify any potential Sixers comeback. They had the best defensive record during the regular season, allowing an average of 107.2 points per contest. The Celtics could once again cancel out the Sixers’ attacks, who looked devoid of ideas without Joel Embiid. The Cameroonian star, who is set to miss Game 2 with an abdominal injury, has a 24-14 record this season and is averaging 26.9 points per contest. His contributions will once again be sorely missed on Tuesday night against the well-organized Celtics, who are 100% healthy. We expect another dominant performance from Boston.
Our prediction for Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers: Under 217.5 points.
