The Boston Celtics look to continue rolling against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> The Celtics didn’t have the best January but I’m expecting their play to improve in preparation for a run at a second consecutive NBA title. I’m backing the Celtics to win comfortably in this SGP that includes prop picks on Kristaps Porzingis and Tyrese Maxey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parlay: Celtics -7.5 + Porzingis over 17.5 points + Maxey under 31.5 points (+285)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celtics -7.5 <\/strong>(-210):<\/strong> Boston lost six games in January, which may not seem like a lot for most teams but standards are higher for the 34-15 Celtics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is they’re coming off back-to-back wins and covered this spread in six of 10 wins last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boston strangely has a better record on the road (18-6) than at home (16-9) this season and the game is in Philly tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other thing working in the Celtics’ favour is the 76ers injury report. Joel Embiid and Paul George remain out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philadelphia is playing well right now, winning five of its last six games but the side lost the seven games before and I’m predicting the hobbled roster gets back to its losing ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Porzingis over 17.5 points (-141):<\/strong> Porzingis has a chance to have a high-scoring game with Embiid out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The absence leaves Geurschon Yabusele as the 76ers starting centre and he is doing a solid job filling in, but he has a tough time defending dominant bigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some centres and their recent performances against Philly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Nikola Jokic (Jan. 31):<\/strong> 28 points, 11\/16 shooting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Domantas Sabonis (Jan. 29):<\/strong> 13-point triple-double, 4\/6 shooting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Nikola Vucevic (Jan. 25): <\/strong>22 points, 8\/12 shooting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Those are three examples from just the past 10 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And Porzingis has been cooking recently. Since Jan. 5, Porzingis is 10-2 against this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    My biggest concern here is volume but it hasn’t mattered lately as the big man is averaging 20.6 points over that span while taking a mediocre 15 shots per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Maxey under 31.5 points (-141):<\/strong> Maxey has been on a tear but this total is just too high against one of the NBA’s premier defences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On Christmas Day, Maxey squeaked past this line vs. the Celtics, scoring 33 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, both Embiid and PG played in that game which made it harder for Boston to focus its defensive attention on Philly’s dynamic point guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With his teammates ruled out, I expect an abundance of double teams and different looks to slow down Maxey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Boston boasts the fifth-best defensive rating (111.2) and can swarm the 76ers’ top-scoring option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And even though Maxey is averaging 29.9 PPG since Jan. 1, he’s gone under this total in 11-of-16 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
