The Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics will polish off their regular season series when they face off on Tuesday night. The Philadelphia 76ers are third in the East with a 51-27 overall record and a 28-11 home record. Second, in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics own a 54-24 overall record and a 25-15 road record.

The Boston Celtics' offense remains the most threatening aspect of their game, averaging 118.4 points per game (2nd in the NBA) by hitting 16.0 threes per game (2nd in the NBA) on 37.7% efficiency from deep (6th in the NBA). They'll look to maintain their offensive form through their three wins against the Sixers, averaging 114.0 points per game on 52.9% from the field and 44.3% from the three-point range.

The Philadelphia 76ers take pride in their defense, where they allow just 110.6 points per game (3rd in the NBA) while limiting teams to just 85.3 field goal attempts per game (4th in the NBA) and just 11.5 threes (5th in the NBA) on 34.7% from three (4th in the NBA). The Sixers have yet to play well against the Celtics this season, losing the rebounding battle by 4.6 and allowing 15.7 threes through three games.

Expect Boston to earn another statement victory over an Eastern Conference rival! Al Horford and Robert Williams should return after some extra rest days, and the Sixers are yet to provide an answer for Boston's high-powered offense. After defeating two solid teams, the Milwaukee Bucks and Utah Jazz, in back-to-back games, we're taking the Celtics to cover the spread.

Key Players & Stats

To check out our expert review of DraftKings Sportsbook, click here!

Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers is the man to watch on Tuesday night, as he averages 33.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists on 54.2% shooting from the field and 33.0% from three. He's recently performed below his regular season averages, posting 26.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists on 47.3% from the field and 16.7% from three. Aiming to steal at least one win from the Celtics this season and confirm his place as the NBA's scoring leader, expect Embiid to produce against a Boston team with a weakened frontcourt.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum has been one of the league's premier scorers this year, averaging 30.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 4.6 assists on 46.7% from the field and 35.4% from three-point range. However, Tatum's production against the Sixers has been modest compared to his season averages, posting 21.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 6.3 assists on 48.1% from the field and 30.0% from three.
