Top Cappers News


The Boston Celtics have the talent and firepower to dominate this matchup, but coming off the All-Star break, there’s always a chance for some sluggish and erratic play. A full week off can disrupt a team’s rhythm, making it harder to pick up right where they left off. On the other hand, the time off has given a team like the Philadelphia 76ers a much-needed opportunity to recover and get healthier, which could make them a tougher opponent than expected.

Boston has struggled to consistently cover large spreads this season, evident by their underwhelming 23-31-1 record against the spread. Historically, this rivalry has been competitive in the betting market, with the underdog covering in six of the last ten meetings—four of those outright victories. The fact that neither Joel Embiid nor Paul George is listed on the injury report is a major boost for Philadelphia, adding to their chances of keeping this game closer than the oddsmakers suggest.

While the Celtics remain one of the league’s top teams, this could be a tougher battle than the line implies. With Philadelphia potentially fielding a healthier squad and Boston dealing with the challenge of regaining its momentum after the break, the value leans toward the underdog keeping things competitive.
