76ers at Celtics Same Game Parlay Pick Recap

The NBA same game parlay for the matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics on Wednesday, December 25 was a loser as it went 1-1 with the 76ers easily covering the spread, as they won outright 118-114 but the game sailed over the total. The sad part about this parlay is that we were in good shape entering the fourth quarter, as the game was tied and on pace to go under the total. Neither team played any defense in the fourth quarter and a ridiculous 68 points were scored to send the game over the total. Let’s recap the 76ers at Celtics same game parlay for December 25^th.

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated Boston 118-114 on Wednesday, December 25^th thanks to Joel Embiid, who recovered from a pregame tumble and finished with 27 points, 9 rebounds, 4 of 5 3-pointers, and two free throws with 3 seconds remaining. Tyrese Maxey had 33 points and 12 assists. Maxey scored 13 points in the fourth quarter, including a quick-trigger layup to establish a seven-point advantage with around a minute remaining. Caleb Martin made 7 of 9 3-point attempts and scored 23 points.

Derrick White had 21, Jaylen Brown scored 23, and Jayson Tatum scored 32 points and had 15 rebounds for Boston. For an added touch of Christmas cheer, Boston paired their green jerseys with red leggings and socks but the jerseys didn’t help them on the scoreboard. Kristaps Porzingis of the Celtics, who has been sidelined for all but nine games of the season due to injury, did not return for the second half. According to the team, he suffered an ankle injury.

Embiid started and played 31 minutes while wearing a black mask to protect his nasal fracture after he tripped and grabbed his ankle during pregame warmups. With two minutes remaining and Philadelphia ahead 108-105, he was fouled on a drive to the rim and hobbled to the free throw line. In the last minute, after the Celtics had cut a nine-point lead to 116-114, he converted both of his free throws and he had two more with three seconds remaining. In the third quarter, the Celtics fell behind by as much as 16 points, which was their biggest deficit at home this season.

The Philadelphia 76ers visit the Boston Celtics on Christmas Day in a game that can be seen on ABC and ESPN. I had a couple of NBA same game parlays last week with one of them cashing with the Magic covering the spread against the Thunder and the game staying under the total. The winning streak of NBA same game parlays ended on Saturday with a loser on the Pelicans vs. the Knicks. In this Wednesday contest it is a matchup between two Atlantic Division rivals, as the 76ers visit the Celtics. Philadelphia has struggled so far this season, while the defending champion Celtics look like they are going to be a serious threat to win the title again this season. Let’s look at our 76ers vs. Celtics Same Game Parlay.

76ers at Celtics Same Game Parlay Pick 

Before making your wager on this game make sure to check the status of Joel Embiid. The 76ers have not had Embiid that often but when he plays, they are a very good team. Philadelphia played Monday night and then had Tuesday off so this is not a back-to-back and Embiid should play.  The Celtics are going to be listed as the favorite and Boston has not been a good team against the spread this season. If Embiid plays as expected, I’ll take the 76ers plus the points. The total looks like a toss-up but this is a high-profile televised matchup and that means the public will bet the over. I like to go against the public so I will take the under.
