Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers Pick

Philadelphia put up quite the performance against Cleveland, but the Celtics are as hot as it gets. They are not only defeating teams, but crushing them, with only three of their last eight victories coming by fewer than 10 points.

Philadelphia acquired James Harden, but he will not be available for this contest. That hurts a team who was already struggling offensively. A victory by Boston will pull them within one game of Philadelphia in the standings. Look for win number nine in a row for the Celtics.

Pick: Take Boston Celtics

The Total:

Boston has gone under in five of their last six games, including going under in five of their last six on the road. Philadelphia has gone under in five of their last seven at home.

All three contests between these teams this season have produced 211 or fewer points. In fact, the last time these teams met in Philadelphia (January 14) 210 points were scored. Look for the under here as well.

Pick: Go under 211.0
