💰 Best 76ers vs. Celtics prop bet
Tyrese Maxey Over 26.5 points (-122)
Tyrese Maxey leads the entire NBA in total points this season, and he's been just as potent a scorer of late.
Maxey has gone Over this scoring total in each of his last eight games. He's also had success against the Celtics, with three 30-point games versus Boston across the last two seasons. While DraftKings has this total a full point higher (27.5), I bet Maxey to go Over 26.5 points at FanDuel's -122 odds.

Derrick White Over 2.5 made threes (-132)
Derrick White has shot the ball very well from deep this week. He's hit four 3-pointers in three straight appearances while shooting over 40%.
Philadelphia's 3-point defense ranks just middle-of-the-pack in terms of both threes allowed per game and opponents' 3-point shooting percentage, which means White should have the green light again tonight. I bet White to go Over 2.5 made threes at DraftKings' -132 odds.
