Best 76ers vs. Celtics Odds, NBA Player Props & Score Predictions Tonight: March 6
It's been a tale of two very different seasons for a pair of teams that opened among the favorites by the NBA championship odds. The Boston Celtics have performed as expected and sit second in the Eastern Conference. However, the visiting Philadelphia 76ers appear to be in tank mode now, as they've won just once in their last 10 games and fall deeper down the East standings.
Our 76ers vs. Celtics prediction and player props expect Boston to win comfortably tonight when this game tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET from TD Garden, but it won't be by the 20-point margin we saw the last time these teams played.
Editor's note: Our 76ers vs. Celtics predictions and player props were made before the news that Paul George will be sidelined tonight.

📊 76ers vs. Celtics pick & odds: Who will win tonight's NBA matchup?
As of Thursday afternoon, the Celtics are favored by 14 points to beat the 76ers in tonight's NBA matchup at 7:30 p.m. ET from TD Garden in Boston. I'm predicting the Celtics will beat the 76ers comfortably but won't cover the spread (-14.5).

Here are the latest 76ers vs. Celtics odds and betting lines from our best live betting sites.
🎯 76ers vs. Celtics score prediction: Celtics 113, 76ers 103
As always, I'll start by looking at the total for this game, which sits at around 220 after opening a few points higher. With it steaming Under, I'll ride that wave and land on a total of 216.
Then, I think the Celtics will win comfortably but I'm backing the 76ers to cover this big spread. Based on all of that, I predict Boston will beat Philadelphia by a final score of Celtics 113, 76ers 103.

I backed Tatum to go Under his assists total last night but he didn't end up playing against the Portland Trail Blazers. His status is still somewhat in question for tonight's game following that absence, but if he doesn't play, the worst thing that'll happen is this bet will be void.
This Under profiles similarly to yesterday's, with the main difference being we were getting a good number on Under 7.5 yesterday and that doesn't exist today. However, based on Tatum's projection of 5.7 assists, there is still a ton of value on taking the Under 6.5 at these plus-money odds.
All of our other best NBA betting sites except for BetMGM are at minus money for this Under, so be sure to head there or - even better - to bet365 sooner rather than later. I'd play this as short as -120, so you still have plenty of wiggle room, but you always want to try to secure the most value, and we're getting an $11 profit on a $10 wager right now.

🏀 Best Derrick White prop pick: Under 17.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -110 via DraftKings ($10 to win $9.09)
Terms and conditions apply.
Derrick White exploded last night with a handful of Celtics stars sitting out, dropping 41 points in the 10-point victory over Portland. However, he also played 39 minutes as a result, and he could see his playing time decrease significantly in his second game of the back-to-back if Boston gets some reinforcements.
White is projected to play only 33 minutes tonight, which is basically his season average. And how many points does he average across those 33 minutes? A little less than 17. He's projected to score fewer than that night at 15.3, providing us with nearly 28% +EV on this bet. Based on that projection, White's points total should be sitting at 16.5, but it's likely set one point higher both as a result of last night's game and in case he needs to take on a similar role tonight.
If White is once again one of the few men standing for the Celtics and plays nearly 40 minutes for the second night in a row, we take this on the chin. But the value is too good to pass up.

🏀 Best Quentin Grimes prop pick: Under 4.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -115 via bet365 ($10 to win $8.70)
I backed a Grimes Over as part of our best NBA player prop bets today, but I'm fading him here, especially now that Paul George is sidelined.
Grimes is projected for just 3.7 assists tonight against the Celtics, and a number of the 76ers best scorers aren't playing, so it's curious to see this total still trading at 4.5 with the Under juiced to only -115 at bet365.
You should be able to bet this right up until tipoff as long as the total remains at 4.5, as the break-even point is -219. If it moves to 3.5, though, leave the Under alone.
