Philadelphia at Boston

2025-26 NBA Championship

img7:30 PM Eastern

Boston comes off two losses as the 76ers have evened the series, but the Celtics also have won two of the games by 32 points each. With a Game 7 on their home court, we can expect the Celtics to show up. Jayson Tatum left the game in the third quarter on Thursday night, but it appears to be just a calf cramp or stiffness, and he is probable for this game. Eight of the past nine meetings have gone UNDER, and Boston will need to come out strong on defense from the start after what happened in Games 5 and 6. Boston is on a 7-1 UNDER run at home. The Celtics are 57-31 UNDER, and the 76ers are 49-40 UNDER in 2025-26. Take the Celtics for the game and the first half UNDER.
