Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Erik Gibbs | in NBA Picks

The Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers are set to clash at the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night in a matchup that showcases two teams heading in opposite directions. Boston, currently one of the league’s top contenders, entered the All-Star break riding a three-game winning streak, securing their last victory with a 116-103 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Meanwhile, the 76ers have been struggling, losing seven of their last eight games, including a 100-96 defeat against the Brooklyn Nets in their most recent outing. Philadelphia’s recent form has been concerning, especially given their inability to generate consistent offensive production. In their loss to the Nets, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Quentin Grimes carried the scoring load with 30 points apiece, while Justin Edwards contributed 13 points off the bench. However, no other player managed more than eight points, highlighting the team's offensive struggles. Their shooting woes were apparent as they connected on just 43 percent from the field and only eight of 33 attempts from three-point range. A particularly damaging stretch came in the third quarter when the 76ers managed just 17 points, allowing Brooklyn to build a decisive lead.

Our Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction

This season has not unfolded as Philadelphia had hoped, especially with injuries and inconsistency plaguing their roster. The addition of veteran talent to complement the core of Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid was supposed to elevate the team into serious contention, but so far, they have struggled to find cohesion. On the other hand, the Celtics have continued their dominant run despite dealing with their own injury concerns. Even while missing key starters, Boston showcased its depth by securing a win against San Antonio in their last game before the break. With both teams dealing with injuries, availability will play a significant role in this matchup. The Celtics are still missing Xavier Tillman, but they have demonstrated the ability to win despite being short-handed. The 76ers, however, will once again be without Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon, further limiting their backcourt options. Given the current trajectory of both teams, Boston enters this game as the clear favorite. The road team has won both prior meetings this season, and with Philadelphia struggling to find its rhythm, the Celtics are well-positioned to extend their winning streak while adding to the 76ers’ recent woes. Our prediction for the Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics: Celtics to win.
