Expert picks and predictions for today’s 76ers at Celtics game

NBC Sports Betting Best Bets

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper) likes the home team: Boston Celtics -8-5
“I don’t mind being bought back on this Celtics side where we have a team that I rate 9 points better than an average team on a neutral site. That’s enough to justify this healthy spread considering the Sixers haven’t performed anywhere near their market value this season.Perimeter defense for the Cs will be key to keeping Philly’s supporting cast in check while Boston maintains their aggressive 3-point shooting barrage to put this game out of reach.”

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) Expects Kristaps Porzingis Numbers: Kristaps Porzingis Will Earn a Double-Double (+410)
“Porzingis doesn’t have a double-double yet in his early season, but a primetime matchup on Christmas at home against Joel Embiid would be pretty good timing, and at +400 or better, that’s a pretty sweet price.”

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) runs with the home team: Boston Celtics -9.5
“29th in points per battle, 25th in FG % and 26thth in 3pt FG%, the 76ers are not a good team offensively. Bad news for the Sixers, they are playing a Celtics team that is ranked #7th in defensive efficiency and 3rd in offensive efficiency. Plus, the Celtics are coming off a terrible loss. I expect them to come up for this game in a big way.”
