Two of the NBA Eastern Conference’s best teams face off tonight in Boston, MA. Can the 76ers continue to narrow the gap between themselves and the Celtics?
Let’s break down how to bet Wednesday’s pivot NBA matchup.
As of writing, 76ers center Joel Embiid is listed as questionable to play. But, even if Embiid does suit up, this is a spot where Embiid has recently struggled offensively.
In five matchups with the Celtics during the last two seasons, Embiid has averaged 24.8 points — and further, that average is buoyed by one 41-point performance.
