Boston Celtics @ Philadelphia 76ers Preview

The Boston Celtics (39-16) are one of the top teams in the league, boasting a strong 22-6 record on the road. They are led by Jayson Tatum, who is averaging 27.0 points per game, and Jaylen Brown, who contributes 22.9 points per game. The Celtics are ranked 6th in points scored per game (117.2) and 4th in points allowed per game (108.1), showcasing their balanced attack on both ends of the floor.

On the other hand, the Philadelphia 76ers (20-34) have struggled this season, particularly at home with a 10-17 record. Tyrese Maxey has been a bright spot for the 76ers, averaging 27.6 points per game, but the team has faced challenges in rebounding and defense, ranking last in the league in rebounds per game (39.0) and 14th in points allowed per game (112.9).

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last five meetings, the Celtics have won four games, including a decisive 118-110 victory in Philadelphia on February 2, 2025. The 76ers' lone win in this stretch came on December 25, 2024, when they edged out the Celtics 118-114 in Boston. Historically, the Celtics have dominated this matchup, winning the majority of their encounters over the past few seasons.

Pick: Boston Celtics -7

The Celtics are the clear favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. They have been dominant on the road this season and have a well-rounded team led by Tatum and Brown. The 76ers, while having a standout player in Maxey, have struggled to find consistency and have significant weaknesses in rebounding and defense. Expect the Celtics to cover the -7 spread as they continue their strong form.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Jayson Tatum Over 27.5 Points

Tatum has been a consistent scorer for the Celtics, averaging 27.0 points per game. With the 76ers' defensive struggles, he is poised for a big game.

2. Tyrese Maxey Over 25.5 Points

Maxey has been the 76ers' offensive leader, averaging 27.6 points per game. He will likely shoulder a significant scoring load in this matchup.

3. Kristaps Porzingis Over 7.5 Rebounds

Porzingis has been a strong presence on the boards for the Celtics, averaging 7.0 rebounds per game. Against a 76ers team that struggles in rebounding, he should have ample opportunities to surpass this mark.
