BOS vs PHI Player Props

NBA player props from FanDuel Sportsbook on February 20.

Jayson Tatum and Joel Embiid share the highest points prop total at 26.5, with the Celtics star going over that amount in three straight, and the Sixers standout Embiid racking up 27 or more points in eight of nine. Embiid has the highest rebound total at 9.5, with Tatum and Tyrese Maxey 5.5 assists lead the way. This is the third meeting between these two this season, with the final matchup being contested March 26th.

Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction

• Celtics vs 76ers pick: Celtics -7.5 (-105)
• Celtics vs 76ers pick prop bet: Joel Embiid Over 26.5 points (-108)

The Celtics have been rolling, with wins in seven of their last eight games by an average of nearly 14 points. That includes an eight point victory against Philly, 118-110 on February 2nd.

90% of bet% in NBA public betting trends are pointing towards the Celtics. 71% of bets are on the C’s to cover the 7.5 points. 83% of the money is coming in on the over 223.5 point total.

The Sixers are in a battle just to make the NBA play-in tournament, as they’re a game and a half back of the 10th seeded Bulls in the East. Just when it seemed this season couldn’t be any worse, they’ve dropped seven of eight.

That hasn’t deterred Joel Embiid from racking up his points. Since returning from a knee injury, he’s put up 27 or more points in three of four affairs. He’s also gone over the 26.5 threshold in eight of nine duels and been over that number in five of six against the Celtics.
