LiontipsBoston vs Philadelphia. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Seems like the departure of Brad Stevens became a mistake for the Celtics' board. 45-year old specialist left the head coach position, but remained in the club's front office. Without him players are looking bleak and inconsistent.
Ime Udoka earned a chance to improve Boston's performance, but so far his tenure as club's head coach is a disappointment. Celtics are only at the 8th spot in the Eastern conference and they are losing way too many games recently. The most recent match, however, proved that everything is not so bad, Massachusetts team recorded a victory over Toronto (109:97), but the Raptors are hardly a difficult opponent.
Sixers need to finally decide Ben Simmons' fate. Point guard has everything to help his team, but he is desperate to leave Philadelphia as soon as possible.
Philadelphia have been through hard times in the current season, in which team's performance significantly declined. Now Doc Rivers need to start everything from a scratch, because a 9th spot in the Eastern conference is surely not a good result for a team of that stature. In the most recent match club recorded a home victory over Orlando (101:96), but even the underdog managed to create problems to the Sixers.
Trends
СтавкаPhiladelphia: total under 108.5 points
In two out of five most recent head-to-head matches club managed to beat the total
СтавкаBoston: total under 109,5 points
In five most recent matches Celtics failed to beat that total
Tip and bets
Both teams are currently out of form. They are hampered by defensive and offensive problems, so it is hard to pick a favourite.
Philadelphia recorded only six victories since the start of the season, while Boston approaches the game with their almost perfect squad, only Dennis Schroeder is out with the injury, so hosts will surely have more chances for a success.
Our prediction - Boston Celtics to win (Including OT)
Both opponents are playing defensively in most matches, so usually their matches are low-scoring. We are expecting the same result tonight.
Our second bet is on total under 217.5 points
