Philadelphia is close to being in a must-win spot after losing Game 3 114-102 and James Harden needs to break out of a shooting slump after pouring in 45 points in Game 1. The good news for the 76ers is Joel Embiid despite a sore knee scored 30 points and grabbed 13 rebounds and the Sixers did shoot 43 percent on 3-pointers and hit 24 of 27 from the free throw line. Philadelphia is 15-5-1 ATS its past 21 games after losing by at least 10 points at home and the 76ers still are 6-2-1 ATS overall their past nine games. Harden has plenty of playoff experience to know how to bounce back from a loss and a bad shooting performance. Marcus Smart is questionable with a sprained ankle for the Celtics. Take the 76ers as a Max Play.
