The game here should be a good matchup and one the Boston team will pull out all the stop in to win. However, the power from the 76ers front court and combination with a decent backcourt will make it harder to see the Celtics getting the win secured. I personally like the Boston Celtics to keep the game close, but with the lack of production and support for Tatum in this game again the Celtics are going to fall short in the game and be eliminated in the game here.
