After four months off, the 2022-23 NBA season tips off Tuesday with an Atlantic Division clash for the ages. Here are our 76ers-Celtics picks.
James Harden, Joel Embiid, and the 76ers will look to take down the defending Eastern Conference champion Celtics at the raucous TD Garden in Boston. Both teams finished with 51-31 records in 2021-22, and the squads split their four head-to-head matchups.
Boston will be without Robert Williams, and the club is under the leadership of a new head coach. Meanwhile, the 76ers will return fully healthy and with improved depth at several positions. Can Boston start the campaign on a high note after a turbulent offseason? Or will Embiid and Co. steal one on the road?
Here are our 76ers-Celtics picks for Tuesday (odds via FanDuel and DraftKings sportsbooks, and PointsBet; Pick confidence is based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
