1. Bet the Sixers to cover

Last season, these teams split wins in their four meetings with one another. However, the Sixers did go 3-1 against the spread in those matchups. Philadelphia is now 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight games these two have played, and it'll be interesting to see if Doc Rivers and Co. can continue to be a profitable wager in this head-to-head series. The Sixers do have continuity on their side, while the Celtics had to deal with all of the Ime Udoka drama in the offseason. 

2. Will Boston bring it?

As previously mentioned, the Celtics have a lot to overcome heading into this year. Not only is Udoka no longer coaching this team, but Boston traded backup center Daniel Theis and lost forward Danilo Gallinari to an injury this summer. Considering Robert Williams III is also out as he recovers from knee surgery, the Celtics are really lacking depth in the frontcourt. That's not something you want against a Sixers team that will be playing bully-ball with Joel Embiid around the paint.

3. Over or Under?

Last season, the Under was 21-9 in games that the Sixers played as underdogs. It was also 15-5 in games they played as road underdogs, and the average total points scored in those games was 208.3 points per game. The Celtics were also first in the league in defensive rating last season, so a low-scoring game would play into what they want in this one. The Sixers are also a solid defensive team that added two tough defensive players in PJ Tucker and De'Anthony Melton over the summer.
