Boston at Philadelphia

Boston is all about defense. Philadelphia is improving in that area, thanks to a focus there. "I think our defense has been getting better than it has been," Philadelphia coach Maurice Cheeks said. "That's one of the reasons for our surge." The Celtics have allowed just 44 ppg in the first half this season. In division games, it's even lower and over their past five games, it's down to 41.4! They are 9-1 UNDER this season on the road to a total in this range (95-100). The Celts are also 10-2 UNDER this season vs. teams that hit 46%+ from the field. The Sixers allow just 91.6 ppg here at home on the season and we love the 1H UNDER here.
