Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics prediction

The Boston Celtics are going to be big favorites for obvious reasons as they’re the better team in better form, they’re at home and they’re the healthier side. The 76ers are still without Embiid and Covington, and those injuries are playing into these losses. With that said, the Celtics continue to get these massive lines, and they’re 27-27-3 ATS on the season and 4-5-1 ATS in their last 10 games. These inflated lines just aren’t making bettors money right now. The 76ers still have talent on the floor, they play hard and despite issues recently, they’re still a profitable 32-25 ATS on the year. I’ll take my chances with the free points.
