Boston at Philadelphia

Sometimes everything goes perfect for a team, while at other times things go anything but. Those two forces collided in Game 3 that left the Boston Celtics with a two games to one lead in their series vs. the 76ers. You have to throw those out, and put yourself in the mindset of the loser who was embarrassed on their home court. Things will be different tonight. Let's not forget that this same Philly team that was humiliated in Game 3, was 3-0 at home in the playoffs going into that game, while Boston has been a road loser all season. They were also good enough to beat Boston here in the regular season by 32 and 13 points. Boston was brutal on the road, winning just three games by 10 points or more, and two of those were against New Jersey and Charlotte. It was an atypical game, and their only cover in the last five trips here. Under Doc Rivers, the Celtics are just 30-50 ATS after a double-digit road win and over the past three seasons, Boston is just 8-23 ATS when coming off such a win. Lay the points and play on Philadelphia.
