Command Analysis

Boston Celtics

Finalist of the previous season will surely try to reach the same stage again, maybe even to win the title. Club's GM managed to strengthen the squad, signing Danilo Gallinari, Malcolm Brogdon, Blake Griffin and Justin Jackson. The Celtics' roster is looking stronger than in the previous season.

But not everything is perfect in Celtics organisation. Team's head coach, Ime Udoka, was suspended for an affair with a female member of the franchise, which is a violation of organisation's rules. His place would be taken by Joe Mazzulla, the interim coach.

Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia didn't make any moves during the off-season. But Sixers strengthened the squad in the previous campaign. Pennsylvania team achieved great results in the pre-season. Joel Embiid and co have won all four matches.

Philadelphia are approaching the match against the Celtics with all the key players available. We will see the best line-up of the 76ers in the match against Boston at TD Garden.

Tip and bets

TipPhiladelphia to win (Including OT)

2.25

Situation with Udoka may seriously affect the Celtics' performance. Boston were not looking so great during the pre-season. Seems like Joe Mazzulla is yet to find the right way to handle the team. Boston team is considered favorite, but we won't be surprised to see Philadelphia winning this game.

Our prediction - Philadelphia to win (Including OT)

Sixers put up a great offensive performance in pre-season matches. In 3 of 4 latest games Rivers' men managed to beat the total of 110 points. We are expecting a high-scoring encounter today.

Our second bet is on total over 214,5 points
