Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers 1/20/2021 Betting Odds

Team	SP/RL	TOTAL	ML
Boston Celtics	+5.5 (-110)	220 o (-111)	+185
Philadelphia 76ers	-5.5 (-110)	220 u (-111)	-225

The Boston Celtics were not themselves lately as their five-game winning streak just got snapped by the New York Knicks in a 30-point blowout, 75-105. This is a game that they certainly missed Jayson Tatum as the team shot a terrible 30% from the field and a lowly 62% from the free-throw line. Jaylen Brown tried to lift his team with 25 points, six rebounds, three assists, and three triples. The only other person who scored in double-digit scoring is Marcus Smart with 10 points and it took him 15 shots to get to that total. The team will still miss Tatum in this matchup.
