The Philadelphia 76ers have been asking their fans to trust the process for decades and have failed to reach the conference finals since 2001. The eighth-seeded 76ers (2-3) lost their previous two home games in this best-of-seven series and finished the regular season with a 23-18 home record. During Tuesday’s stunning road victory, Philadelphia outscored Boston 28-11 in the fourth quarter and shot 50 percent from the field.
Philadelphia C Joel Embiid led all scorers with 33 points on 12-for-23 shooting and dished out eight assists. All-Star G Tyrese Maxey contributed 25 points (10-18 FG), ten assists, and five rebounds. Paul George added 16 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists for the 76ers. 
Celtics vs 76ers Pick
Both teams come into this game with no significant injuries to report. This series is being played at the slowest pace this postseason, so the under is worth a look. The Celtics are the better defensive team and will bounce back with a hot shooting night from beyond the arc. Take Boston to win and cover on the road. Final Score Prediction, Boston Celtics win 110-98.
