Celtics vs. 76ers best bet

76ers +1.5 (-110 via FanDuel)

I understand why FanDuel would open the Celtics as the betting favorite in this matchup; I just don't agree with it. The 76ers have the shorter odds to win the NBA championship because they have more star power, and while the Celtics are having the better regular season statistically, Philadelphia should be favored Tuesday because this will be a playoff-like atmosphere.

Brown will be looking to get revenge against his former team, while the Celtics will be looking to avenge their playoff loss to the 76ers last season. With both teams highly motivated, the one with more high-end talent should be favored at home.

Play to: 76ers ML (-101)

Score prediction: 76ers 109, Celtics 108


Celtics vs. 76ers player props

Neemias Queta Over 7.5 rebounds (+122 via FanDuel)

Neemias Queta's median rebounding total is eight boards across five games in November, and he has a great matchup in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Despite having Joel Embiid on their roster, the 76ers are among the weaker rebounding teams in the league. Philadelphia ranks 22nd in the NBA with a 49% rebounding percentage, and since both teams rank in the top six in defensive rating, Queta will likely get even more opportunities to grab defensive and offensive rebounds.

Queta has a 14.7% rebounding percentage, while Joel Embiid's is just 14.1%.

Play to: Over 7.5 (+114)

Tyrese Maxey Over 2.5 3-pointers (-115 via Hard Rock Bet)

While everybody will be cutting in line to bet Overs on Brown against his former team, Tyrese Maxey will likely be the star for the 76ers Tuesday. The Celtics allow 43.8 3-point attempts per game, the most of any NBA team. Maxey, meanwhile, leads the 76ers with 7.5 3-point attempts per game.

With the Celtics likely focusing an unusual amount of attention on Brown - since they won't want their former teammate to score 30 against them - I expect Maxey to see even more looks from beyond the arc than he usually would.

Play to: Over 2.5 (-124)
