Boston nearly pulled out a win on Wednesday after being humiliated by the Knicks the game before, but the Celtics were outscored 31-17 in the fourth quarter and lost to Philadelphia 117-109. The Celtics get a chance to avenge that loss against the 76ers tonight, but they'll have to do a better job of containing Joel Embiid, who exploded for 42 points and grabbed 10 rebounds on Wednesday. Jaylen Brown scored 26 points and Marcus Smart added 25 for Boston. The Celtics had previously beaten the Sixers five times in a row, and Boston is 11-4-1 ATS its last 16 games following an ATS loss and 26-10 ATS as a road underdog. Also, Boston is 14-6 UNDER as an underdog, and Philadelphia is 8-2 UNDER after an ATS win. Five of the last seven meetings have stayed UNDER. Play the Celtics and the UNDER.
