Celtics @ 76ers tips, picks and prop bets: Jayson Tatum dishes, Boston's revenge

The Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers will clash in a mouth-watering contest live on TNT Sports.

Celtics @ 76ers game pick

The Celtics three-game winning streak has pushed their record to 8-2 on the season, while the 76ers are also sitting pretty at 8-2.

The Eastern Conference leads collide in Philly on Tuesday with the hosts looking to put last night’s 137-126 setback at the hands of the Pacers behind them.

Perhaps the 76ers were caught looking ahead, but the stats column shows they did little wrong.

Big man Joel Embiid led the way with 39 points and 12 rebounds, but it was noticeable the Philly bench chipped in with a measly six points.

Meanwhile, the Celtics are well-rested after beating the Knicks 114-98 on Monday. 

Jayson Tatum was typically brilliant with 35 points and he was ably assisted by Jaylen Brown (22) and Kristaps Porzingis (21).

Both teams are coming off of a fine shooting performance as both made good on better than 50% of their shots from the field.

It’s worth noting that both Joel Embiid and Kristap Porzingis could miss this game.

The 76ers big was questionable before Tuesday and may not force the back-to-back if he’s suffering, while Porzingis picked up a minor knee complaint.

Regardless of who plays, this seems like an easy pick to use. The Celtics are well-rested and they match up well with the 76ers.

We also have to consider the fact Philly beat Boston 106-103 on this court a week ago, so this is also about revenge.
