04 May 02:00 Boston Celtics v Philadelphia 76ers

Joel Embiid was named this seasons MVP sadly he’s currently dealing with an injury and he won’t play this game. Against all odds, the 76ers beat the Celtics at the garden. But to beat Boston, James Harden needed to drop 45 points, he won’t drop 45 this time and the Celtics will come out on top. The Boston Celtics have a field goal percentage of 52.1% during this post-season and that’s the best of any team, even when they lose they don’t struggle when it comes to scoring. Boston will learn from game one and guard James Harden better and he won’t convert as many from behind the arc.

Suggested Bet: Boston Celtics -6.5

There are two bets for this game and the second bet to go for is the under. The Sixers are only averaging 106.8 ppg and without their MVP they are short-handed on their offense. Boston can really play the defense but this game will be a blowout in where the over doesn’t come like last time. The line is already set low and that should tell you everything you need to know, take the under.

Suggested Bet: Under 223.5
