The Boston Celtics hit the road to take on the Philadelphia 76ers for a Thursday night contest. Philadelphia is a two point favorite and the total is set at 212.5 points.
Boston comes into the contest with a 25-10 record. Unlike most teams the Celtics don’t have a clear cut number one option. Instead the Celtics rely on their trio of Kemba Walker (22 ppg), Jayson Tatum (20.9 ppg), and Jaylen Brown (20.5 ppg). Gordon Hayward (16.7 ppg) has also played well.
Philadelphia is led by Joel Embiid who is averaging 23.4 points and 12.3 rebounds.
Can Jaylen Brown lead the Celtics to an impressive road win or will Embiid lead Philadelphia to victory? Find out below as we cover this one.
Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics are coming off a 129-114 loss against the San Antonio Spurs. It was an ugly loss for the Celtics who allowed the Spurs to shoot 55 percent from the field. Kemba Walker was even ejected in the third quarter after arguing a no-call on a screen that was laid down on him.
Gordon Hayward led the Celtics with 18 points on on 4-of-7 from 3-point range. Jayson Tatum went for 14 points but he struggled going 5-of-16 from the field.
The Spurs out-rebounded the Celtics 49-39 in the contest. Boston struggled to contain DeMar DeRozan who had 30 points on 10-of-17 shooting.

Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a 120-113 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Philadelphia used a 31-21 second quarter to take command early on. Josh Richardson led the 76ers with 23 points on 9-of-17 shooting. Embiid went for 18 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists.
There wasn’t much defense in this one as the 76ers shot 51 percent and the Thunder shot 45 percent. Ben Simmons finished with 17 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists in the win. Tobias Harris added 18 points and six rebounds.

Free Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers NBA Prediction: 76ers -2
The Celtics have struggled over the last few games against teams they were expected to beat. This time around they will get a tough Philly team on the road. I expect the 76ers to squeeze out a victory in what will be a playoff like atmosphere. Embiid will be the difference in this one.
