The Boston Celtics visit the city of Brotherly Love tonight for a marquee match-up against Allen Iverson and the streaking Philadelphia 76ers.
The (12-5) Celtics have won two straight games and six of their last seven SU and ATS. Last time out was an impressive 102-97 win at Orlando as 6.5 point dogs. Boston are now 5-2 ATS this season on the road and all three times they have been a road underdog of 2 points or more they have won outright.
The (14-4) 76ers lead the Atlantic Division and tonight try for the eighth straight win. But through their last six games they have covered just two, while losing three and pushing the other.
Boston won the previous meeting this season 91-81 and also knocked the 76ers out of the playoffs last season. Allen Iverson, Keith Van Horn, Paul Pierce, Antoine Walker....tonight should be a fantastic game!!
Our analysis points to this one being very close to a Pick-em. We believe the revenge factor has been over-compensated for in this line so we'll take the five points and expect the Boston Celtics to win SU or at the very least keep it close enough to get the cover.
Recommended Play: Boston +5
