Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

A look at the Celtics' recent performance tells us they're in cracking form, especially when playing at home. Over their last five home games, they've averaged an impressive 119.4 points, well above the targeted 101.5 points for this bet. Even when we look at their overall last five games, their scoreline remains comfortably above the line at 112.2 points. The 76ers, though a formidable opponent, have allowed an average of 105.2 points in the Celtics' last five games. This suggests the Celtics' offense has managed to break through their defense consistently. Although the 76ers will undoubtedly attempt to tighten their defense, the Celtics' dominant home form is a solid indicator that they could notch up more than 101.5 points in this encounter. Betting on the Celtics to go 'Over 101.5' hence seems like a reasonable bet.

Here's a hot tip for you: the under 32.5 on Tyrese Maxey's points + assists in the Celtics vs 76ers game is a pretty smart play. Why? Just look at his recent performance. When he's on the road, Maxey averages a combined 31 points and assists per game, which is still under our line. And against the Celtics? His average drops even further. Last few head-to-heads with Boston, he's managing just 25 points and 5.4 assists - that's a significant drop off from our target. Not to mention, 3 out of the last 4 games, he's been under this mark too. It seems the Celtics have his number and playing in Boston might just be Maxey's kryptonite. So, as much as we love watching Maxey light it up, the under on this one seems like a solid call.

In his last five encounters with the Celtics, he's averaged 8 points and 7.4 rebounds. Even more impressive, when he's faced them on their home turf, he's upped his game, hauling in an average of 8.3 rebounds.
