Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics. The NBA pick for this game is the Boston Celtics. Philadelphia 76ers Center Joel Embiid (knee) did not practice on Saturday and is doubtful for Game 1. The Celtics have the best offense in the playoffs and the 76ers will likely play at a faster pace without Embiid. Bet on the over on Monday. We predict a 115-106 win for the Boston Celtics.
