Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers
Thursday, February 20, 2025 7:00 PM
Play: Point Spread: -7/-110 Boston Celtics
Boston comes into this game fresh off a busy All-Star weekend but with a legitimate claim to be the best team in the NBA and the defense of their championship becoming even more real it could be time for them to lock in. Jrue Holiday is back for this game which will have the Celtics at full strength and with Porzingis out here they are a matchup nightmare for any team, especially Philly.
The 76ers have been the most disappointing team in the NBA this season. Paul George is looking like one of the worst contracts in recent NBA history and Embiid has made more excuses and spend more time rehabbing than anywhere near a basketball court.
Take the Celtics to get the win and cover on the road in this one as they are by far the better team and now with the All-Star break behind them I think we see them finally lock in and start to taking the regular season seriously. Porzingis is going to be effectively undefended on the perimeter anytime Embiid is in the game and I think we see the Celtics walk away with this one.
