The Celtics will be taking on the 76ers in this one. This is a huge matchup between the one seed in the East and the third seed in the East. The 76ers have won five straight games coming into this one. They are 7-3 in their last 10 games and are now just three games back of the Celtics who have the best record in the NBA. They are led by the man who has finished second in MVP voting in two straight years in Joel Embiid. Embiid is averaging 33 points this season to go along with 10.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists. His sidekick is James Harden who has taken a backseat in scoring this season as he is averaging  21.6 points but he has upped his assists numbers averaging 10.7 assists on the season. This team has some title aspirations this season. 

The Celtics are the one seed in the East and they own the best record in the NBA but they are being gained on by everyone. The Bucks are now just one game back after they won 12 games in a row and both the Nuggets and 76ers are within three games of them. They luckily got some good news as their dynamic duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown was back to full force as Brown returned from a facial fracture. Tatum leads the team averaging 30.6 points per game while Brown is right behind him averaging 26.6 points per game. This team is tied for the second best offensive efficiency in the league and is just .001 away from first place. They are a top three favorite to win the title.

I like the 76ers in this one. They are going to be at home and they are on fire right now. Not only have the Sixers won five straight but they have covered in five straight games. The Sixers look unstoppable at the moment and the Celtics are also on the road here. The Sixers have also covered in 11 of their last 15 games. As a home team this season the Sixers are 21-10-1 ATS. The Celtics haven’t been anything special on the road this season at 14-13 ATS and just 12-13 as an away favorite this season. I think Embiid and Harden continue to cruise along here and close the gap on this Celtics team that has been trying to hold on to the best record in the NBA for a while. 

Final Score Prediction: 76ers 111-108
