- Boston Celtics are 11-4-0 ATS in their last 15 games as a double digit favorite
- Philadelphia 76ers are 0-3-0 ATS in their last 3 road games
- The Under cashed in each of the previous 3 meetings
Head To Head

Verdict
This is a lot of points, but Boston have repeatedly covered as a double digit favorite in recent months.
And with Tatum back they are firing on all cylinders, so we are backing the Celtics to deliver in Game 1.
