At TD Garden, analysts lean Boston to cover and the total to go over 206.5 after Philadelphia forced a decider by holding the Celtics to 97 and 93 points.
The preview says the 76ers' path is another low-scoring defensive effort, while Boston's chances depend on reviving its three-point shooting after a 29% display and 9-for-16 free-throw night in Game 6.
Philadelphia has won twice in Boston this series, but the Celtics are 3-1 in Game 7s since 2022, including a 112-88 win over the 76ers and one home defeat to Miami.
Given the Celtics' historical Game 7 dominance, can the 76ers' defense and Maxey's breakout overcome the odds and alter NBA playoff history?
With both teams facing legacy-defining stakes, which star—Embiid or Tatum—will rise to the occasion and rewrite their playoff narrative in Game 7?
