76ers vs Celtics Prediction
The Boston Celtics have won 3 of the last 4 meetings against the 76ers and at home should be favored. However, the Celtics are going to be without Porzingis and could be without Jrue Holiday as well. The 76ers have been one of the moneymakers in the league this season with a 12-6 ATS record. It feels strange to just throw a bunco of points to a good team like the 76ers. Slight overreaction toward the Celtics. Give me the road dog.
