Joel Embiid is poised for a strong performance against the Boston Celtics on Christmas, despite limited playing time this season. The 76ers center has averaged impressive stats in recent games, and historically performs well against Boston. Analysts predict a close contest with Embiid shining, but the Celtics ultimately prevailing.
Joel Embiid hasn't played much this season, but when he does, he still shows signs of a Top 5 player. With nothing holding him back, expect a big game from him on Christmas.
He was ejected from Monday’s game in the second quarter, and since December 13, he’s only logged 62 total minutes. That means he should be fresh for a Christmas showdown with theAcross his last 16 against Boston over the last five years, Embiid averaged 29.4 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 4.2 assists. Those numbers have been pretty steady in seven games at TD Garden, going for 27.4 points, 10.6 boards, and 3.6 dimes.
His PRAs line is set far too low not to bet the Over, and I’m happy to take advantage of this mispriced line.The shorthanded Magic handled the Celtics on Monday, and Boston will be hungry to get back in the win column on Christmas. In a matchup between two Top-10 defenses, I’m certainly keen to take the Under here. The Celtics are 1-5 to the Under following a loss, and the 76ers are 3-5-1 after a win. Boston has hit the Under in five straight, and the team will be hungry to get back in the win column after letting a depleted Magic team get a win on Monday.
