Boston at Philadelphia

img6:05 PM Eastern

The Philadelphia 76ers out-played Boston in Game 3, but litterally threw the game away down the stretch, turning the ball over at crucial moments on their way to a tough overtime loss. They have their backs against the wall in Game 4, trailing in the series 3-0. It is well documented that a team down 3-0 has never come back to win a series in NBA history, but this is Game 4, and is not reflective of that stat. The Sixers have been a dominant home team since just before Christmas where they are 21-4 SU and 21-8 ATS. This is a team that has not lost consecutive home games over that period. They have a scoring margin here of +11.8 points per game over the corse of those 25 games. They are also 18-4 ATS when Joel Embiid plays during the stretch. The Sixers live for another day. Make the play on Philadelphia.
