The first nationally televised game coming out of the NBA All-Star break has the Boston Celtics visiting the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night on TNT. The Celtics are 39-16 overall and in second place in the Eastern Conference. They are 5.5 games behind Cleveland for first place and 2.5 games in front of New York who is in third place. The 76ers are just outside of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference, as they sit in 11th place with a record of 20-34. They are 1.5 games behind Chicago for 10th place. When you talk about the 76ers it really starts with whether or not center Joel Embiid will play. Philadelphia is a completely different team with Embiid in the lineup. When he plays, they can challenge any team in the league, but when he is out, the 76ers are one of the worst teams in the NBA. Since the 76ers are coming off the NBA All-Star break, Embiid has had plenty of time to rest and he should be available for this game. Let’s look at our Celtics vs. 76ers Same Game Parlay picks.

Boston Celtics
The Celtics are 39-16 SU and 23-31-1 ATS with 25 games going over the NBA betting total and 29 going under, with one push. They are averaging 117.2 points per game which is 6th in the league, while they are giving up 108.2 points per contest, ranking 5th in the NBA. Jayson Tatum leads the team in most major categories, as he is averaging 26.9 points, 5.5 assists and 8.6 rebounds per game.
Philadelphia 76ers
The 76ers are 20-34 SU and 20-34 ATS with 30 games going over the total, 23 going under, with one push. They are averaging just 109.1 points per game which ranks 26th in the league. They are giving up 112.9 points per contest which ranks 15th in the NBA. Tyrese Maxey leads the team in scoring at 27.6 points per game and in assists with 6.1 per contest. Joel Embiid leads the team in rebounding with 8.5 per contest.
As noted earlier, the 76ers are simply a different team with Embiid in the lineup. The problem for Philly is that he has played just 17 of their 54 games. In those 17 games he is averaging 24.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists. He’s shooting 45.4% from the floor and 33.3% from 3-point range. If the 76ers are to make a playoff push they need Embiid to play in most of their remaining 28 games.
Celtics at 76ers Series
Boston has won six of the last 10 in this series but they are just 4-6 ATS with six games going over the basketball betting total and four going under. The teams have met twice this season with each team winning on the road. The 76ers won 118-114 in Boston in late December, while the Celtics won 118-110 in Philly earlier this month. Both of those games went over the total. Boston has won six of the last 10 in Philadelphia and they went 6-4 ATS with six games going over the total and four going under.
Celtics at 76ers Same Game Parlay Pick
The Celtics have a gaudy record straight up but did you notice how poorly they have done against the spread? Boston is simply overvalued on a regular basis against the NBA betting odds. The 76ers are definitely not a trustworthy team, but there is no question they are much better with Embiid in the lineup. There is no excuse for him not playing in this one, as Philly has had plenty of time off. I’ll take the 76ers and also play the game to go under the NBA betting line.
