Celtics looking for consistency
In their last game, Boston defeated Orlando 111-107 on Sunday on the road after losing 123-110 on Friday to the same team on the road. In the second game, Jaylen Brown led the C's with 27 points, while Anfernee Simons added 25 off the bench in 23 minutes. The defense stepped up, holding the Magic to just 23% from the three-point line.
Simons has played well at times since coming over from Portland. He's averaging 15 points on 41.2% shooting from three-point range. Boston really needs an experienced big man as Neemias Queta (7-0, 248) and Luka Garza (6-10, 245) are their main two bigs. Queta is averaging 8.6 points and 7.9 rebounds, while blocking 1.4 shots per game. Brown leads the Celtics in scoring with 28 points per game, adds 4.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists, while shooting 35.9% from long range.
Sixers struggle against quality teams
Philly has lost three of their last four games, though they have covered every game but one this season with a push. They are 26th in strength of schedule according to DunksandThree.scom, having played solid teams aside from Washington and Brooklyn. Their last win took place on Nov. 8 when they defeated Toronto 130-120 on Nov. 8. Joel Embiid scored 29 points in 26 minutes and Tyrese Maxey led the way with 31 points, adding seven assists. Forward Trendon Watford, who has been a journeyman, having played for Brooklyn and Portland, had a triple-double with 29 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists.

But in their last game on Sunday, Embiid sat because he doesn't play back-to-back games. Maxey scored 33 points, but that wasn't enough as Philly fell to the Pistons 111-108 at home. Center Andre Drummond filled in for Embiid and had 17 points and 12 boards. Maxey is having a great start with 33.2 points per game, to lead the NBA, and 8.2 assists. Embiid, who has played 6 of 10 games, is averaging 19.7 points and 5.5 rebounds in 23 minutes per game.

The Celtics don't have a big man, who can handle him, even in 25 minutes, along with Maxey having his way on the perimeter. Check out the pick and total below.

Celtics vs. 76ers Final Score Prediction
- Philadelphia 116-Boston 109
Boston is shooting just 44.9% from the field this season to rank 23rd and 34.2% (18th) from long range on the road. Not only do they miss Tatum, but Jrue Holiday as well. The Sixers are shooting 38.5% from three-point range at home and 38.6% overall to rank sixth in the league. Maxey has been playing lights out this season and he gets help from Kelly Oubre Jr. (18.6ppg), who has become a well-rounded player along with Quentin Grimes (17.2ppg, 39.7% 3pt). You just can't double Maxey or Embiid. Now, if they had a healthy Paul George, things would be interesting in the East.
Take the Sixers and go with the Under as Philly, who is 19th in pace, will want to play more halfcourt with Embiid in the game. Boston is 29th in pace of play according to DunksandThrees.com
