Prediction

Game 4 was a thriller and we are probably in for a similar showing tonight in Boston. The 76ers were able to prevent the dreaded 3-1 hole and picked up a huge win in overtime in Game 4, 116-115.

James Harden was absolutely sensational, dropping 42 points, dishing out 9 assists and grabbing 8 rebounds to lead the Sixers to a big win to even the series.

The 2 games the Sixers have won in this series have been due to massive games from the Beard and that will be a huge key for the rest of the series to the Sixers moving on.

For the Celtics, this game feels like a must win to hold serve at home to put the pressure right back on Philly into a must win game back in Wells Fargo Arena in Game 6.

And it think they do just that.

Best Bet

It is hard to not go with the Sixers to cover this fairly large spread but I have to ride with Boston back at home to get a big win and put the pressure back on Joel Embiid and the 76ers.

Jayson Tatum hasn’t had a huge game scoring since Game 1 and I could see a breakout performance tonight to lead the Celtics to get one game away from the Eastern Conference finals.

Player Prop of the Game

Malcolm Brogdon o22.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists (-111) BetOnline

How can you not take Brogdon right now?

The 6th Man of the Year has been fantastic all series long, doing a little bit of everything. He has scored 15+ points in every game this series and has 23+ PRA in 5 of his last 5 games.

Brogdon is averaging 30 minutes per game over over his last 5 games and will see the same amount of usage tonight in a huge Game 5.

Just keep doing what you have been doing, Malcolm.
