Premium Pick

Boston is 44-27-4 ATS this season compared to 31-41-4 for the 76ers, who have been no match for the Celtics while going down three games-to-none in the series. Kemba Walker scored 24 points, and Jaylen Brown added 21 in Friday's win. Philadelphia has been shooting horribly, including 29.5 percent in Friday's loss, followed by 41.8 percent the previous game. Boston is 18-7-1 ATS its last 26 conference quarterfinal games and 35-15-1 ATS its last 51 playoff games as a favorite. The Celtics have covered the last four meetings, and the Sixers are 3-8 ATS their last 11 games overall. Philly always seems to suffer injuries every year and can never get over the hump to be serious championship contenders. Lay the points with the Celtics.
