This series is progressing as many NBA playoffs do as the home team bounced back from a Game 1 loss and then won in a blowout in Game 2. Now it's Philadelphia's turn to redeem itself tonight and Joel Embiid will have a game under his belt after missing the series opener with a knee injury. Embiid took only nine shots on Wednesday and scored 15 points, including seven from the free throw line. The Celtics had gone OVER five straight before holding the 76ers to 87 points. Boston has gone OVER seven of eight playing with one day of rest and the Celtics are 8-1 OVER their past nine road games. Philadelphia is 12-2 OVER at home after being away for at least seven days. Take the 76ers and the OVER.
