  • 11 years ago
The Philadelphia 76ers will travel to face the Boston Celtics in an NBA pro basketball game on Saturday night. Tip off time from Boston is scheduled for 7:30PM Eastern Time with national television coverage provided by the NBA League Pass Channel.

The current NBA odds from this pro basketball game has the home team Boston Celtics favored by -6 ½ points with a total of 187 ½ points. The NBA lines were released a few hours ago as Boston was a -6 point favorite with an over under line of 187 ½ points. We have seen no movement on the total and a ½ point move on Boston. Trend: Philadelphia 76ers are 3-1 ATS in their past three games.

The teams have met twice already this season with the 76ers winning both games. Last night Philadelphia wins 95-94 in overtime against the Celtics as a +2 point underdog. The Sixers survived a 37.4% shooting night in the win as they held 10 less turnovers than the Celtics. Philadelphia struggle big time for offense it seems every night. At 92 points a game the team is 26th in the league and makes just 42.7% of their shots.

The Celtics are just 10-9 on the season. They are a good shooting team with 47.2% shooting from the field. There is an injury concern for Boston on Saturday as Rajon Rondo is questionable with an ankle injury.
