Celtics vs. 76ers Prediction: 76ers -1.5 (-104) 

The Celtics are the hotter team, but the 76ers are at home and want to send a message. The new superteam will do it on both ends of the floor, and they will put pressure on Boston.

Maxey, Brown, Embiid, and King James will come out, play well on their floor, and show they are the team to beat in the East. I do not see them blowing out the Celtics in any way, but with the extra buzz in the air, the stars for Philly will step up, which is why they are the team to cover the short spread in the much anticipated matchup.
