The Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers continue their Eastern Conference rivalry as both sides compete for the top seed in the standings. The Celtics enter this game off the back of a win while going 6-4 over their last 10 games. The Sixers lost their last game, but have gone 8-2 overall through their last 10 matches.
The Philadelphia 76ers are a dominant three-and-d team in the NBA, allowing just 110.9 points per game (4th in the NBA) on 47.2% from the field (14th in the NBA) and 34.2% from three (1st in the NBA), while also hitting 12.8 threes per game (9th in the NBA) on 38.5% efficiency (4th in the NBA) themselves. Unfortunately, the Sixers' offence struggled in their last game, scoring just 97 points on 40.5% from the field and 28.0% from three-point range. The Celtics will challenge them with their rapid offence, scoring 117.6 points per game (3rd in the NBA) on 47.3% from the field (15th in the NBA) and 37.1% from deep (8th in the NBA). The Celtics are coming off of a win where they held their opponents to 99 points on 42.5% from the field and 27.3% from deep.
We're taking the Celtics in this matchup. Not only were they able to hold off the Sixers in their last matchup, but Philadelphia's recent form has seen them go 2-2 over their last four. Their offence hasn't been clicking, and the Celtics are the team to take advantage.
