Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics Prediction: More or Less Competitive Game

Prediction for the NBA Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics match which will take place on May 6th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After an excellent first game, in which Philadelphia performed brightly in attack, James Harden set a personal record for points scored in the playoffs (45). Doc Rivers' team predictably failed in the second game of the series with Boston. The 76ers made only 6 three-point shots out of 20 attempts, made only 13 assists, with 11 losses, and could not resist the opponent in defense. As a result, a crushing defeat of Philadelphia 87:121. An unsuccessful result, however, did not affect the chances of the Seventh Sixers picking up the series in any way. 

The Celtics have once again shown the status of the main favorite of this season. Joe Mazzulla's team, as it was in the first-round series with Atlanta, played a great match. 121:87 – Boston dominated the entire game on both halves of the court. Moreover, even the incomprehensible play of Jayson Tatum, who scored only 7 points, did not prevent the Celtics. Jayden Brown scored 25 points, Malcolm Gordon scored 23, and Marcus Smart and Derrick White scored 15. The Boston attack can work effectively.

Philadelphia won the first match in Boston, especially thanks to the phenomenal game of James Harden. But the second match showed how big the difference between the Celtics and the Seventh Sixers is. Harden may drag in another game in this series, breaking some records again, but Philadelphia doesn't have much chance of success in the third game. Boston will immediately try to get the home advantage and be as concentrated as possible in the upcoming match. Philadelphia will have even less chance of winning if Joel Embiid plays again. In the second match, it was clear that the Cameroonian was not yet ready to play at full strength due to injury. Given the aggressive attacking style of today's Boston, we are betting on the Celtics and a more or less competitive game.
