Will the Sixers fight to live another day in the playoffs? Or will the Celtics complete the sweep? Going into the game, the sportsbook expects the 76ers to take one, giving them a 6.5-point favorite status before the inevitable conclusion eventually sends the Celtics into the Eastern Conference Finals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/signup\">Register here<\/a> to make your pick.<\/p>\n<h2>Betting Preview for Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers NBA Eastern Conference Round 2 Game 4 on May 7, 2018<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where:\u00a0<\/strong>Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia<\/p>\n<p><strong>When: <\/strong>Monday, May 7,\u00a0 6:00 PM EST<\/p>\n<p><strong>Line:<\/strong>\u00a0 Boston Celtics (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/nba\">point spread<\/a>) vs Philadelphia 76ers (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/nba\">point spread<\/a>) <strong>\u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>view all NBA lines<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>TV Broadcast:<\/strong> TNT<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Betting on the Boston Celtics (+6.5)<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the postgame interview while he\u2019s still on the floor of the Wells Fargo Center, A Horford said \u201cBrad Stevens is a genius.\u201d He\u2019s right. Without Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward, the Celtics still managed to bury Philly in a 0-3 hole because of Stevens\u2019 wise shot-calling \u2013 and also because of Jayson Tatum\u2019s fantastic showing. Tatum scored 24 points in Game 3 on 11-for-17 shooting from the field. Boston\u2019s defense is also jamming the Sixers\u2019 attack. After shooting just 43.5 percent in Game 2, the Sixers went just 39.2 percent from the field on Saturday. So far in the series, the Sixers are shooting just 41.5 percent from the field and just 30.3 percent from deep. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Celtics are 3-0 SU and ATS in their lasts three games in Philly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers (-6.5)<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ben Simmons\u2019 stock as a rookie took another plunge in Game 3. Although he scored 16 points (15 more than his Game 2 output), the turnovers he committed late in the game on Saturday played a huge role in costing the Sixers a win. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so don\u2019t be surprised to see T.J. McConnell get inserted into the starting lineup in lieu of Simmons. McConnell, who will not score a lot either, but plays collectively. Also, hopefully, for the Sixers, Marco Belinelli and JJ Redick remain hot. The two combined for 30 points and five 3-pointers in Game 3 with the former hitting the game-tying jumper late in the fourth to send the game into overtime. The Sixers need to cut down on their turnovers after committing 15 in the last outing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sixers are 3-2 ATS in their last five home games.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boston sweeps the Sixers with a 103-100 win in Game 4.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/nba\">Bet on this NBA playoff game<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"154372\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,827&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Philadelphia 76ers don\u2019t have any more room for mistakes as they are now 0-3 in the series against the Boston Celtics after a 101-98 overtime loss in Game 3.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"154372\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,827&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":154401,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[393,42],"tags":[30960,29819,31192,31193,31194,30971,31195,31196,31203,31197,3561,30723],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.4 -
