Top Celtics vs. Sixers predictions for Sunday Night Basketball
SportsLine’s model has simulated Sixers vs. Celtics 10,000 times and is going Over on the total (220.5 points). The total for this game opened at 224.5, and the model was firmly behind the Over even at that higher line. Philadelphia has seen each of its last four games eclipse the total, while the Over is 2-0 in the Celtics’ last two home games.
The last three contests between these squads in Boston averaged 231 combined points. Both Jaylen Brown and Tyrese Maxey are forecasted to nearly reach 30 points, while another six players each score over a dozen points. When you also factor in that Philadelphia has gone over in four of its last five games without Embiid (out, oblique), then you can see why the model backs the Over 64% of the time.
