Let’s dive into our 76ers vs Celtics same-game parlay!
Boston Celtics -3 Point Spread (-112)
Under 204.5 Alt. Total Points (+210)
Jayson Tatum Under 28.5 Points (-105)
Parlay odds: +1042
Boston Celtics -3 Point Spread (-112)
Sixers have dropped 4 of their last 5 games and will be without several players due to covid protocols. To top it off both Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey have lingering injuries, so even if they play they won’t be at 100%. Boston is coming off a 114-107 victory over the New York Knicks, they are likely going to have their trio of Tatum, Brown and Schroder ready here. In their last 10 home games they’ve gone 8-2 SU and against the 76ers they’ve won in 16 of their last 19 at TD Garden. In their last 5 games on a Monday they’ve covered 4 times.

Under 204.5 Alt. Total Points (+210)
Both of these teams have had their struggles scoring this season, especially the Sixers who rank only 24th in the NBA averaging just 105.6 per game. In their last 3 they’ve scored 97.3 per game and with so many players out they could struggle yet again here. Only 1 team plays at a slower pace this season, Philly averages just 97.8 possessions per game. The Celtics aren’t that much faster, they rank 22nd with 99.4 per game, so we could be in for another slow tempo affair here. The first meeting of the season produced a score of 88-87, expect something similar tonight.
Jayson Tatum Under 28.5 Points (-105)
Tatum averages 26.2 points per game this season and in the one game vs the Sixers he has scored 26 which was his highest ever point total against them in the regular season. In his last 3 of 4 games overall he also went under 28.5 points. Playing alongside Brown has been a problem all season long. The Celtics rank only 22nd in offensive efficiency when those 2 share the floor together. Put Schroder in there as well and Tatum might struggle to get to his usual 20 attempts per game.
