Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

 by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions

The first game of the 2022/23 NBA season tips off with an excellent Eastern Conference matchup when the Boston Celtics host the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden. Both teams come into the new season with championship expectations; the Celtics hoping to return to the promised land after falling just short to the Warriors last season while the Sixers will be looking to finally get over the hump and make their first Finals appearance since the Allen Iverson led 2001 team. The 76ers had an excellent preseason going 4-0 while the Celtics finished 2-2 in their exhibition games. The betting line on this game has already shifted in favor of the visitors, with an opening +4 spread already being bet down to +2.5 – potentially a sign of things to come in this game.

Boston Celtics - Philadelphia 76ers: Form Analysis

These two teams finished with equal 51-31 records last season in what turned out to be an extremely closely contested East. However, going into the new season there is a definite sense of these two teams heading in opposite directions. Philadelphia, with an in-shape Harden and MVP candidate Embiid, will feel this is their year after being sent home in the second round by the Heat last season. Boston has the same core that made the Finals last season but an up-and-down preseason as well as the last second coaching change will impact the team.

Boston Celtics & Philadelphia 76ers Squad Analysis

Robert Williams is a massive loss to the Celtics given how influential he is to what they do on defense. Boston finished with the league’s best defensive efficiency last season but showed a dramatic decrease in their numbers with Williams off the court. The Sixers strengthened their depth with the addition of PJ Tucker, Montrezl Harrel, Danuel House and De’Anthony Melton – all players that could have a significant impact on Philly’s chances this season. 

Boston Celtics - Philadelphia 76ers Key Points

  1. Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers in scoring in the preseason, putting up an average of 17.3 points per game in just 20.1 minutes. Maxey made an impressive leap from 8 points per game to 17.5 points per game last season and is key to their chances.
  2. The 76ers finished with the best away record in the Eastern Conference last season at 27-14.
  3. Sixers center Joel Embiid has dominated the Celtics in his career, averaging 26.1 points and 12.1 rebounds per game on only 32.6 minutes.
  4. The Celtics will be without key defensive big Robert Williams in this one. Boston were 5-11 against the spread as home favorites last season without Williams.

Our Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction

We’re going to take the underdog Philadelphia 76ers on the +3 point spread. The visitors have a great shot at winning this game straight up but taking the points will protect us if the game comes down to a single possession. There are plenty of storylines and drama surrounding the Celtics coaching situation and it remains to be seen how that will affect the team early on in the season. James Harden looks hungry and refocused and the Sixers made some good offseason moves to add depth to an already championship-caliber team. Look for them to start their season off with a statement win over last season’s Eastern Conference champions.
