Boston Celtics at Philadelphia 76ers Predictions & Picks

  • Philadelphia 76ers are 3-1-0 ATS in their 4 postseason games
  • Boston Celtics are 6-6-0 ATS in their last 12 road games
  • The Under has cashed in each of the previous 6 meetings this season

Verdict

Boston took control of the series again in Game 3, and we would not be shocked to see them take Game 4.

However, it is the 76ers that are proving to be the better spread bet at this time, so we are backing them for a third straight cover in this series.
