Boston at Philadelphia

The Boston Celtics lost for the first time Monday night in Minnesota. It was their worst shooting performance of the season at 39.1% and they fell five points short in overtime. They head to Philadelphia to take on the Sixers who are 5-1 on the season, matching Boston's record. The Sixers parted ways with James Harden and so far seem to be better off without him. They are in a tough spot for this one as Philadelphia, after losing on opening night in Milwaukee by a single point, has won five straight games and has covered them all. Teams on a five-game winning streak or longer as well as a five-plus ATS winning streak, playing at home to a line no more than -1 are a woeful 23-41 ATS, covering just 35.9%. I look for Boston to bounceback in this one. Make the play on Boston.
