Philly entered the season as most pundits pick to win the Eastern Conference but despite their record especially at home they still have issues in clutch time.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Celtics ATS
The Celtics are slight favorites given their home court prowess and both squads are strong defensively but the 76ers are gigantic in comparison to Boston. Rebounding will be key especially the offensive glass, but until the Bean Town crew loses at home it’s hard to bet against them especially with small spreads.
