Action and Line Movement

The line on this game had not come off the -5.5.

What Sagarin Says

Sagarin suggests the line should be Boston -2 but Sagarin does not account for injuries right away.

Hot Trends

Philadelphia has won four of the last five in this series. They did lose the last game back in February.

Preview

The Sixers All-Star guard Ben Simmons sidelined following knee surgery.

"In the games that Simmons hasn't played, they're the No. 1 offense in the league," said Celtics coach Brad Stevens. "The spacing, the shooting around [Joel] Embiid posting, the ability to play big with both Embiid and Al (Horford). ... A bunch of shooters around them makes them very tough."
