After beating Boston without Joel Embiid in Game 1, the Sixers were trounced in their MVP's return in Game 2. Our NBA betting picks believe Embiid will make his biggest impact vs. the Celtics on defense on Friday night.
Jaylen Brown Over 24.5 pointsToday’s same-game parlay builds on the understanding that Embiid is not likely to be the same dominant scorer we saw before the LCL sprain, which is why I like his points Under.

They’ve had the 76ers number in recent meetings, going 6-1 ATS in their last seven matchups. The total has come in between 213.5 and 215, with the number moving downwards at most sportsbooks. That seems a touch low to me, as the 76ers should get a boost from playing at home, and the Celtics' offensive formula has proven to be nigh impossible to stop through eight playoff games.
The Over is 5-1 in Boston’s last six games overall, and 8-1 in their last nine road games. My hesitancy to make the Over a best bet is the snail's pace that Philadelphia plays with. The 76ers are the slowest pace team remaining in the playoffs at just 91.33 possessions per game, similar to their regular season mark. A) New users at FanDuel can bet $5 and
