Celtics vs 76ers Prediction

Those who have followed along all year know I’m not laying big chalk with the Celtics. It doesn’t get any better here, with the Celtics on the end of a back-to-back and their injury situation. However, the 76ers are a team that’s punting on the season at this point and is 22-39 ATS on the year. The 76ers have zero betting value, even with the rest advantage. The Celtics smoked the 76ers by 20 points a couple of weeks ago. Big line and the Celtics haven’t had much success in these spots, but the 76ers will remain fade material. Give me the Celtics in a blowout.
