Boston has plenty of offense, sixth in the NBA in points scored and tops in assists. The Celtics are 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games. They head to rival Philly, an awful all around team. Philadelphia is 30th in points scored and 25th in points allowed. Philadelphia is off a crushing defeat, too, leading by 18 with 7:39 to go in regulation, but couldn't hold on in Saturday's 120-115 overtime loss to Memphis, its third consecutive defeat. The 76ers are 0-12 at home for the second-worst start in NBA history behind the 1993-94 Dallas Mavericks. The 76ers are 2-5 ATS against the Eastern Conference. When these rivals meet, the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings, so cash the green with the Green! Play the Boston Celtics.
