The Philadelphia 76ers have already beaten the Celtics twice this season and they’re as healthy as they’ve been in quite some time. The Boston Celtics continue to underachieve with subpar play most nights and it just doesn’t feel like the same team from last season. Even with the Celtics winning their last five games by an average of 10.4 points, it just feels like something is off with this club. The 76ers are the more trustworthy team and the cheap line here has me leaning in their direction with decent confidence.
