Boston Celtics (43-17) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (39-19)
The 2022-23 NBA season goes on Saturday, February 25, with the marquee Atlantic Division showdown from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, so we have prepared the best Celtics vs. 76ers betting pick and odds.
Boston and Phila continue their four-game regular-season set with Game 3, and the Celtics shoot for their fourth straight victory over the 76ers. The visitors open as slight 1-point road favorites, while the totals sit at 226.5 points.
After finishing the first half of the season with a 127-109 victory to the Detroit Pistons, the Boston Celtics (43-17; 32-27-1 ATS) picked up where they left off, outlasting the Indiana Pacers 142-138 in overtime this past Thursday. The Celtics failed to cover an 8-point spread against the resilient Pacers team, and Jayson Tatum led the way with 31 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists.
“I'm glad we won,” said Tatum, who had only six points at halftime. “I just tried to find ways to make plays on both ends so we could win and everybody could feel better about themselves.”
