The bookmakers have made the Boston Celtics favorites to win the East this season, but I think they're in for a dogfight when hosting Philadelphia in the season opener.
The talented 76ers are coming off a stellar campaign and will be looking to avenge a Game 5 loss to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Now their young core led by Joel Embiid and reigning rookie of the year Ben Simmons has another preseason under its belt and we can also note that the underdog is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
"I think our future is amazing," Sixers coach Brett Brown said recently. "I see a progressive growth. I think we've got a chance to be good for a decade, I think we have a chance to be good for a long time, and that's what excites me the most."
Boston must still be considered the better team until we're proven otherwise, but I think Philly will keep this close.
8* play on Philadelphia 76ers+.
