The Celtics are likely to cool off a bit from the 50 percent 3-point shooting that allowed them to roll to a blowout win in Game 1. Moreover, recent history suggests the 76ers clamp down on the defensive end following a big loss. They are 7-3 to the Under after allowing 100 points the previous game, and also 8-3 Under following a loss of 10 or more points. Look for a bit more of a deliberate pace Thursday that sends this Under the posted total.

On paper, the Celtics seemingly are undermanned. Yet the results beg to differ as Boston's immense depth has flourished with its youth. The Celts' undervalued home court has dominated ATS in the playoffs at 5-0, but the level of offensive efficiency witnessed in Game 1 is not a familiar scene for the Celtics. Expert the 76ers' high talent to adjust accordingly. Grab Philly.

The Sixers were 5-of-26 from 3-point range in Game 1, with a cast of some of the best shooters in the NBA. On the other hand, the Celtics shot better than 50 percent from 3-point land, which will be hard to duplicate Thursday in Game 2. Without guard Jaylen Brown, the team stepped up, a short-term reaction we see a lot of in the NBA. Look for the 76ers to get back on track from 3-point range, while Boston comes back to earth. Lay the points.

This is the perfect bounce-back spot for the 76ers, who haven't lost back-to-back games since Feb. 27. While the Celtics are on a 10-1 ATS run at home, Philly has gone 15-5 ATS in its last 20 games, including 6-2 ATS in its last eight road games. Jaylen Brown is expected to be out, but Boston was fine without him for Game 1. This is more about the Sixers taking better care of the ball and making better shot selections. I'm looking for a double-digit Sixers win.

The Celtics have covered six straight home games after their Game 1 victory. Take the points with still-underrated Boston.
