The beginning of 2022 allowed Sixers’ fans to think big for the rest of the season. The team has eight wins in their last 10 matches and they currently occupy the fifth position of the Eastern Conference standings. Despite the fact the team have an 8-8 record playing at home, the squad from Philadelphia have one of the best road records in the NBA and this explains why the team have a good position in the table.

Defensively, the Sixers are considered to have the eighth-best defense in the league, as their opponents average 105.6 points when they play against them. In addition to it, in their last 10 matches, their opponents were able to score more than 105 points in just four occasions.

Their offense has been struggling this season and the team has an average of 107.5 PPG. However, an interesting and positive fact about the Sixers’ offense is that in their last 10 matches, the team did not score a number higher than their points per game average in only one occasion.

Joel Embiid, Sixers’ center, has been the best player for the Philadelphia squad this season. The center has the fifth best points per game average in the league, 27.0 PPG, and he is also very important defensively, as he has the highest number of blocks and rebounds in the Sixers’ team.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics Odds and Prediction: Boston Celtics

The Celtics come from a good sequence in the last 10 games and come to Philadelphia seeking one more win for the poor road record. Even though the squad from Boston has an excellent 13-8 home record, their road record is insufficient to allow the team to sit in a higher position in the Eastern Conference standings.

Celtics’ defense has done a good job since week 12, as their opponents scored more than 100 points against them in just one occasion. Their two home victories against the Knicks and the Pacers in their last two games at the TD Garden tend to give the confidence to the team to seek more road victories this week.

Offensively, the Celtics look to do a better job as they have one of the top-10 worst offenses in the league this season, with a 107.5 points per game average. The team struggle to score more than 110 points in a two-game sequence and they need to improve in this topic to become a more dangerous team.

Jayson Tatum and Robert Williams III continue to be the two best players in the Celtics’ squad this season, as Tatum has a 25.5 PPG average, while Williams has an average of nine rebounds per game and more than 70 blocks in this season.
