Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics Best Bet: Thursday, May 11th
The Celtics’ playoff record in TD Garden has not been impressive, having lost eight out of their last 11 games there. As a result, they will now have to try to win on the road in Florida. The 76ers had a strong game, with T. Maxey delivering an impressive performance and the team’s superstars playing well. Their dominant performance in Boston led to a blowout victory, putting them in a position to clinch the series at home with their first match-point.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics Preview
Fri, May 12th. 00:30 (UK time)
Philly put on an impressive show in their last game, with T. Maxey finally having a good scoring performance in terms of points and efficiency. J. Embiid and J. Harden also played well, resulting in a 3-2 lead going into game 6 in Florida where the 76ers are the clear favorites. Despite the moneyline suggesting otherwise, we believe the 76ers will excel in game 6 due to their mental state and will not be missing any players due to injury.
The Celtics are in trouble, as they should have taken advantage of Embiid’s absences and been up 3-0. However, now they face a completely different situation. After game 5, dissatisfaction was felt in Boston, and we think the inexperienced playoff team’s mental state may not be at its best. While Tatum had 36 points in the last game, which is close to his average, he missed 16 shots from the field. To win, the Celtics need more energy and more efficient shooting, as a poor performance could end their season. Unfortunately, the Celtics will be without D. Gallinari due to an ankle injury.
Despite the moneyline indicating that the Celtics are the favourites tonight in Wells Fargo Center, we believe that Philly is a much better team offensively, especially on their home court, and they have a mental advantage over the Celtics tonight. We predict that Philly will end the series tonight, as they know that if the game goes to game 7 in TD Garden, their chances of winning will be minimal.
Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics Best Bet
Philly managed to win one game without J. Embiid in Boston, with a stellar performance by J. Harden. Two nights ago, they blew out the Celtics on their home court and made a statement coming into this game 6. We don’t see Philly dropping home-court advantage tonight, J. Embiid and J. Harden deserve to play in the Conference Finals due to the seasons they’re having.
