With the first two games split in Boston, the Celtics head to Philadelphia tonight looking to regain home advantage. Game 3 tips off at 7 p.m. ET (Prime Video) at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

Boston enters as a 7.5-point betting favorite in what could be a bounce-back spot - and that's the foundation of my Celtics vs. 76ers player props tonight. I'm targeting Neemias Queta in a favorable matchup, while fading Derrick White in my NBA picks and best bets for Friday.

Derrick White Under 18.5 points + rebounds (-115)

Derrick White's offensive struggles continued into the playoffs. He's scored 18 total points in two games of this Round 1 series. I don't see that changing in a road environment, where role players often struggle more to hit shots.

Since Jayson Tatum's return from injury, White is averaging 13.5 points and 4.3 rebounds on a 17.4% usage. He's failed to clear this combo line in 10 of his 17 games over that span.

This line closed at 18.5 in Game 1, so the market clearly hasn't adjusted correctly. I'll take the Under at -120 or better.

Here’s a look at how Derrick White has performed recently, as well as against the 76ers:

Over 14.5 points	+105 via BetMGM	0-5 ❌	3-2 ✅
Over 4.5 rebounds	+129 via Pinnacle	0-5 ❌	2-3 ❌
Over 4.5 assists	-105 via Caesars	2-3 ❌	3-2 ✅
Over 18.5 points + rebounds	-105 via BetMGM	0-5 ❌	3-2 ✅

White has a median of 11 points + rebounds in his last five games overall.

The Celtics have the third-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.

Neemias Queta Over 9.5 points (+100)

Backup center Nikola Vucevic could start to lose some minutes, putting more pressure on Neemias Queta to stay out of foul trouble. Even while dealing with some foul trouble in Game 1, Queta has scored 21 points in 43 minutes through two games. He's now scored 10-plus points in seven of his previous eight outings.

If Queta can stay on the floor, this is a favorable matchup. The 76ers rank 22nd in defending shots at the rim and 21st in defending putbacks. Without Joel Embiid, big men can score against them.

This Over is -117 at some shops, highlighting the bargain at bet365.

🚀 Celtics vs. 76ers same-game parlay

I've added Boston's moneyline value to pair with my favorite player props for Friday's Celtics vs. 76ers parlay. This is a spot where the Celtics should respond and reclaim home-court advantage. At bet365, this parlay comes out to +375 and is worthy of a sprinkle. Corey Scott features another NBA same-game parlay in his Lakers vs. Rockets player props for Game 3.

💡 How I'm betting Celtics vs. 76ers

This marks the third straight game that I'm betting a White prop in this series. I expected the market to respond more aggressively to his struggles, but that hasn't been the case. As a result, I'm comfortable fading a prop that remains roughly the same in value as at the start of the series.

As for Queta, all signs point to Boston adjusting its center rotation as a fix following the first two games of the series. This could be a spot where Queta gets extended playing time due to his defensive impact, though the 76ers' lack of rim protection is why I'm comfortable backing his offensive production.
