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

NBC Sports Betting Best Bets
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
“29^th in points per battle, 25^th in FG % and 26th^th 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 #7^th in defensive efficiency and 3^rd 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.”
