With our Celtics vs. 76ers tip everything is different and yet a lot of things are the same again. Philly is missing Joel Embiid and the Sixers have slipped significantly in the Eastern Conference table, but the fact that Boston is the clear favorite in this matchup is nothing new.
That would actually have been the case with Embiid – especially at the TD Garden in Boston. Because at home the Celts have an outstanding record of 26:3 victories and the main question is usually just: How much will they win this time?

If the recent performances are anything to go by, it could be clearer than in the last two meetings, which Boston only won by ten and six points. But Joel Embiid was also at the start.
Without him, the Sixers can’t do much, which isn’t surprising since they lose a whopping 35.3 points per game. So our forecast for Celtics vs. 76ers for Tuesday night is a clear success for the home team, where we won’t see quite as big a fireworks display of points.
Boston Celtics – Philadelphia 76ers Quoten | 3 Top-Tipps
Betting odds as of February 27, 2024, 2:34 p.m
The first jump ball of this normally exciting Eastern Conference duel is on Wednesday night at 1:30 a.m. in Boston. This week the betting base once again has many exciting NBA tips in its program – which will be the case almost every day until the NBA Finals.
Boston Celtics – Statistics & Current Form
The Celtics are on a run – again. Because once again they have won eight games in a row and their status as favorites for the NBA Championship is getting bigger and bigger. With odds of around 3.50, they are now almost 2.00 odds points ahead of their next pursuer from Denver.
However, it is currently difficult to imagine how the Celtics can lose four games in a short period of time, especially at home. Their 26:3 home record is one of the best records in their own arena in the league in several years.
Celtics top offensively and defensively
With 45 wins they also lead the league quite clearly. They already have five more wins than their closest rivals from Minnesota and Oklahoma City. They are also among the top 5 teams in the league in terms of both offense and defense.
They score an average of 120.7 points offensively and only concede 110.7 at the back. That’s an average lead of 10.0 points per game. They could reach this value again on Tuesday, if not even a few points more.
Tips on Celtics a good option
Despite the high handicap, the odds on the Celtics for Boston vs. Philadelphia are still playable, even with a handicap of up to -11.5 points. Because Philly has lost three of its last four games – most recently against the Bucks by a difference of 21 points.
However, we see an even better option in under-point bets. Because without Embiid, the 76ers score significantly fewer points on average. In their last four games they averaged just under 100.5 points. The 230.5 total points set are very difficult to achieve.
Especially since Boston is now not one of the numerous “no-defense” teams in the league, as they appear again this season. In their last five games, an average of 223 total points were scored, four of which were clearly under 230.
Key Players:
PG: Jrue Holiday
SG: Derrick White

Philadelphia 76ers – Statistics & Current Form
It’s amazing how much impact one player can have on a franchise, and Philly fans probably wish it was less. But without Joel Embiid, the Sixers are just a completely average NBA team.
We would even go so far as to say that without him they would have a lot of trouble making the playoffs. The trade for Buddy Hield doesn’t help much either. Especially since he is still having a hard time being integrated into the 76ers offense. In none of the last three games did he score over 14 points, even though there is a big scoring vacuum after Embiid was out.
Who should score for Philly?
Neither Hield nor Tobias Harris can fill this vacuum. Most recently, Harris only scored an average of 10.0 points in the last three games. It is practically impossible to score well over 100 points, which is almost mandatory in the modern NBA in order to win games.
However, the Sixers have not broken the 100 point mark twice in their last three games. And now, of all times, they are facing one of the three best defenses in the league – not a good outlook for both Philly and point fetishists.
Maxey is the only bright spot for the 76ers
Only Tyrese Maxey continues to score and is still at a strong 25.8 points per game. Paired with Embiid, this could have been a really good one-two punch. Without him, however, the scoring burden is too great and the offensive power peters out.
So for Boston vs. Philly, a tip on under 230.5 total points is a great chance to react to this scoring weakness with bets. Tips on Boston are also possible, but with this high handicap they are a slightly riskier option.
Key Players:
PG: Tyrese Maxey
SG: Buddy Hield
SF: Kelly Oubre Jr.
PF: Tobias Harris
C: Paul Reed

Betting odds as of February 28, 2024, 3:58 a.m
Boston Celtics – Philadelphia 76ers Direct comparison / H2H balance
Both teams have met three times this season and the series is 2-1 for the Celtics. And that despite the fact that Joel Embiid was on board in the previous duels. Without him, the Sixers will have relatively no chance away from home.
In addition, they traditionally have little to gain against the Celtics. Six of the last eight direct duels went to the Celts. What stands out? Even with Embiid, this matchup was rarely a high scoring game.
The 225 total points could only be exceeded once in the last nine duels. We therefore consider the 230.5 set to be significantly too high and so the odds on under points for Celtics against Sixers are clearly to be favored.
Stat highlights for Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers
Wettbasis-Prognose & Boston Celtics – Philadelphia 76ers Tipp
The Celtics have the better offense, the better defense, play at home and the 76ers are also missing Joel Embiid. Is there anything at all working in Philly’s favor? They have more steals per game than Boston (8.6 to 6.5), but that’s about it.
The Celtics don’t need any steals since they have the ball more often anyway. This makes a tip on Boston a good option for Celtics vs. 76ers, However, we see bets on under 230.5 total points as even more playable – a number that we believe is clearly overstated.
Key-Facts – Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers Tipp
- The Celtics have the third-best defensive rating in the NBA (110.7)
- Since the loss of Joel Embiid, Philly has had a negative balance
- With 8.6, the 76ers get the most steals per game
Player bets are also another betting alternative, and we are thinking in particular of Jaylen Brown, who has recently been in a brilliant mood. He should be able to break the 20.5 point mark again, like he did in three of his last four games.
