While everyone continues to be in shock following the most stunning trade in league history, the show must go on in the NBA. The Boston Celtics (34-15) and Philadelphia 76ers (19-28) will square off at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday at Wells Fargo Center with the broadcast on ESPN.

The Celtics are double-digit favorites after winning their last two games. The 76ers had a four-game win streak snapped with their recent loss to the Denver Nuggets.

Best Celtics vs. 76ers prop predictions

Kristaps Porzingis prop pick: Over 1.5 blocks ⭐⭐⭐⭐

If center Anthony Davis can help the Lakers land Luka Doncic, the Celtics may consider trading Kristaps Porziņģis in the coming days. I’m mostly joking, but I like betting on the Boston big man in this matchup against Philadelphia’s inferior frontcourt.

Porziņģis swatted four shots against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. He’s blocked multiple shots in two of his past four games and played 30-plus minutes in consecutive contests.

I’d bet this Over at -115 or better. BetMGM bonus code SBRBONUS provides the market-best odds of -105.

Kristaps Porzingis prop pick: Over 7.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Since he’s become healthier, Porziņģis has assumed a significant role for the Celtics this month. He’s averaging 29.2 minutes per contest, so I’m willing to play two prop angles for him in this matchup.

Porziņģis has averaged 7.7 rebounds per game this month, clearing this mark in four of his previous six outings. A Philadelphia frontcourt that has had to play most of the season without Joel Embiid ranks 28th in defensive rebound rate and 24th in offensive rebound rate.

This line is as short as -111 at Fanduel, making this +110 price at DraftKings worth scooping up.

Best odds: +110 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 47.62%

Tyrese Maxey prop pick: Under 29.5 points ⭐⭐⭐

This line is as high as 30.5 at DraftKings, with the Under priced at -115. However, the +100 value to take Under 29.5 points at FanDuel offers a slight edge in pricing as of this writing.

Maxey has scored at least 30 points in four straight games, including a pair of 40-point efforts. He’s attempted 23 or more shots in all four contests, shooting better than 50% from the floor.

If Maxey isn’t as efficient or the Celtics roll on Sunday, it will be difficult for him to reach this number. I project a line closer to his average of 27.5 points per contest, and the only fear is his recent form.

Best odds: +100 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 50%
