Boston at Philadelphia

The Philadelphia 76ers were beaten badly in Game 5 at Boston, leading to an elimination game for them in Game 6 at home. The Sixers are 4-1 in the playoffs at home, and have been a solid defensive team here all season, as well as a strong team picking up wins. Boston's aging team had two days of rest for Game 5 and it showed. But back on regular playoffs rest and on the road, things will be different. While Boston did have a moment here with a big win, the wins and the points have been hard to come by here otherwise. Outside of that one game, Boston has lost the last four here scoring on average just 81.5 points per game. So with so much on the line here for the Sixers, expect them to do what they do best - defend. Philly has cashed 14 of their last 20 at home vs. a team with a losing road record. When Boston plays as a low dog of +4.5 points or less, they have gone 8-3 to the UNDER in their last 11 games. Philly brings the "D" at home as a favorite where they are 26-11 to the UNDER in their last 37 in tonight's role. Play Philadelphia and the UNDER.
