1.88Tip and bets
Boston is approaching the game with Philadelphia as the undisputed favorite. According to bookmaker analysts, the hosts will have very few chances of success. That's the way it is. The Sixers, who were on the list of top candidates to win the championship at the start of the season, are now at risk of not even making the playoffs. The permanent absence of leaders due to injuries turned the Pennsylvania team into one of the main losers of the tournament. The Celtics are making steady strides towards defending their title. Mazzulla's wards will have to achieve a convincing victory over a bloodless opponent with a combat team.
Our forecast is for Boston to win with a head start (-9.5) points, including overtime in 1.71

The bet for the first quarter

The Massachusetts team will show from the very first minute that they are not going to upset their audience and will confidently come out ahead in the score.
Our prediction is that Boston will win in the first quarter in 1.56
