Philadelphia 76ers @ Boston Celtics – 8PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Philadelphia 76ers got a huge victory in the opening game of the series earlier in the week. They did it without their MVP award winning big man Joel Embiid as well. Now they will be looking to grab another victory here against the Boston Celtics game number two of the series and take a two games to zero lead before heading home for games three and four. James Harden looked absolutely unstoppable in the opening game of the second round series, and he will be looking to replicate that performance here tonight, and help get Philadelphia another huge win on the road over the favored Boston Celtics.

The Boston Celtics will be looking to bounce back in the second game of the series on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. They had an opportunity to win game number one, but they had a terrible turnover at the end of the game that led to them losing by four points. They can’t afford to go down to the zero with both games coming on their own home floor so they will be putting in their best effort to get a victory in this one. They are the presumable favorites at the moment to win the Eastern conference, and potentially the NBA finals as well so they will need to bounce back here and this one, if they want to keep their chances alive of advancing out of the second round. I expect Boston to bounce back in this one and pick up the victory at home.
