The 76ers will be fighting to end a 2-game losing skid when they host the Boston Celtics Friday at Wachovia Center.
Both teams have a chance to improve their showing within the Atlantic division. Philadelphia is 34-40 (8-5 in the division), while the Celtics sit at 31-44 (9-3 in the division).
The 76ers are favored, opening as 3.5-point chalk, with an opening total of 206.5. They are 34-40 this season and 39-34-1 OU. The Celtics are 31-44 and are 25-27 OU.
Doc Rivers' troops hosted Washington last game and came away with a 108-91 loss, a game that went under 211. Oddsmakers had them as 1-point favorites in that one.
Maurice Cheeks' troops were at home against the Bulls last game and came away with a 99-92 loss, a game that went under 202. Oddsmakers had them as 3-point favorites in that one.
Some trends to consider:
Boston is 3-6-1 OU in its last 10 games
Boston is 2-3-1 OU in its last 6 away
Boston is 2-4-0 ATS in its last 6 games
Boston is 2-4-0 SU in its last 6 games after being .5 to 3 point favorites
Philadelphia is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games
Philadelphia is 9-3-0 OU in its last 12 games at home against Boston
Philadelphia is 4-2-0 OU in its last 6 at home
Philadelphia is 2-6-0 ATS in its last 8 home games
Next up:
Boston home to New York, Sunday, April 9
Philadelphia at Chicago, Saturday, April 8
