Boston at Philadelphia

The Philadelphia 76ers evened their series with Boston at one game apiece, and the No. 8 seed now has taken home-court advantage for the series as they play for the first time in Philly. The Sixers have now become the first team in NBA playoffs history to have three games in a row decided by 1 point. The good news is they have won two of them, and the better news is that two of them have been on the road. The Sixers are built on defense and they have delivered, with their last six showing opponents averaging just 80.7 points per game. Philadelphia has done a great job at home against teams with a losing road record where they are 13-5 ATS in their last 18, and Boston is starting to look like a team with aging stars, other than Garnett who has been very good. Philadelphia has become a graveyard for Boston where they have gone 0-4 ATS in their last four trips here. Play on Philadelphia.
