The Philadelphia 76ers host the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night in a nationally televised game, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.
The game tips off at 7:00 p.m. ET and can be seen on ESPN.
The Celtics (8-4) are hoping to rebound from their worst performance of the season, a 105-75 drubbing at the hands of the New York Knicks. Guard Kemba Walker returned to the court in the loss, and his presence will be important for a Celtics team that is still missing Jayson Tatum, Carsen Edwards and Romeo Langford.
The 76ers (9-5) have been short-handed recently due to COVID-19 issues and have missed practice time as a result, but will only be missing Mike Scott and Vincent Poirier on Wednesday. Philadelphia is expected to have its full starting five available, with Seth Curry returning from a two-week absence.

Advice and prediction
It would not be surprising to see the 76ers get off to a slow start as they adjust to having Embiid and Curry back, but with Tatum out for Boston and Kemba Walker still working his way back to form, I’m taking the Sixers’ star-power and depth to handle the Celtics at home. Take the 76ers -4.5.
Prediction: 76ers 117, Celtics 101
