Between Jayson Tatum and Joel Embiid, the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers are two teams where injury question marks are always a concern. That means that we’ll be keeping them in mind for the first game of today’s NBA on NBC doubleheader for our best Celtics vs. 76ers predictions.

Celtics vs. 76ers Predictions for NBA on NBC, 11/11

Despite both of these Eastern Conference teams always having key injuries on their minds - not that they’re equal - they still expect to be in the postseason. These playoff hopefuls also played one another not long ago for their first NBA Cup Group Stage game. This one won’t count towards that tourney, but we’ve got Celtics vs. 76ers predictions nonetheless.

We say that the injuries aren’t equal, given that Jayson Tatum has a long road to recovery ahead from a torn Achilles tendon and Joel Embiid is more of a game-to-game situation. As for Philly’s most recent game, Embiid was not on the court, as the 76ers lost at home on Sunday to the Detroit Pistons.

In the game prior, Philly won by 10 points off the back of his 29 points, so it’s clear that his status is pivotal for any Celtics vs. 76ers picks. As for Boston’s most recent action, that was also on Sunday, but it came in a road victory. So, will it be the Celtics winning three of four or Philly bouncing back?

Let’s get into the best bet from our Celtics vs. 76ers predictions for tonight to help answer that question.
 

 

 

Celtics vs. 76ers Best Bet: VJ Edgecombe Over 12.5 Points (-120 at Fanatics)

Along with Joel Embiid missing Sunday’s game, we also saw Paul George miss his second straight game for Philly. So, while Boston may not be at full strength virtually all season without Jayson Tatum, the 76ers clearly aren’t 100% healthy either. It looks like we’ll see some Celtics vs. 76ers predictions focused on Tyrese Maxey.

After all, he did put up 33 points in Sunday’s loss. There’s no denying that he has become the cornerstone of this franchise with the inconsistency of Joel Embiid, but we see more value with the guy fans and oddsmakers have seemingly fallen out of love with, and quickly. That would be rookie VJ Edgecombe.

We caught the attention of virtually everyone to tip off the season, but after cooling off a bit, it’s as if he never existed. Well, we haven’t forgotten that he’s scored 34 and 17 points against Boston already this season. As you can see, we aren’t even asking for the lesser of those two values tonight.

He’s proven that he can still produce with the other stars on the court, and so far this season, he’s averaging over 37 minutes per game. That means plenty of opportunities for us to cash the best bet from our Celtics vs. 76ers predictions on VJ Edgecombe over 12.5 points (-120 at Fanatics).
