Boston receives today the Sixers, in a game which will be a close out game series. Boston won the other three games pretty easily, but the first two games went over by a large margin, as the Sixers couldn't stop the attack of the Celtics, who shot 52.6% FG and 58.9% FG, something that didn't happen in the third game, where the Sixers were already in the good moment they are right now, being currently capable of defending any kind of team. Boston after having swept the Texas Trio went on to lose in New Orleans by 113-106, simply because they weren't able to slow down the pace. Today they comeback home after this road trip and I expect a better defensive performance this time. This has been happening this season, as everytime Boston comes from a loss+over game, they are 1-3 O/U in the following game. This will be also the third time they will have an home match this season coming from a road trip of four games or more. In the other two times they defeated Houston and Cleveland in games with few points: 97-93 and 92-87.

The Sixers just like the Celtics are 8-2 in their last ten games and in the last game they showed against the Nets that they can defend extremely well down the stretch, just allowing New Jersey to score 12 points in the last quarter of the game. The same thing happened when they won at Detroit by 83-82, just allowing the Pistons to score 15 points in the last 12 minutes of the game. One of the two X factors of this game have to come with the fact that the Sixers are dangerous in fast break points, being even one of the Top 3 teams in the league in this stat. But Boston has shown that can stop that, as they have only allowed the Sixers to score 11 fast break points in their last match. Actually in the four games, just once they allowed their opponents to score more than 10 fast break points. The other factor comes to the fact that the shooters from Boston are a little cold right now. The best Boston has shot from the 3pts line in their last five games was 33.3% against the Hornets. The Sixers struggle in defending teams that can make a good mix of inside and outside in their offensive plays, just like Orlando does and that's why they shot 14-23 3pts and scored 113 points against Philadelphia. The Sixers will want to show that they can be competitive even against Boston and this will come from having a tough defense, which Boston will also want to improve after their defeat against the Hornets. Take the under in here.
