Jose Ramon Exposito recommends a forecast for the NBA.
Meeting of the NBA Western conference, the Philadelphia 76ers is measured against the Boston Celtics for the supremacy of the Atlantic Division.
The Celtics have entered a good streak winning 13 of their last 15 meetings and 8 in a row, a lot of this has to do with the great defense they have been able to show limiting their opponents to only 103.5 points per game during the regular season and a magnificent 92.8 in the last 5 meetings, their mark in front of the point line is 11/28 as favorites and 1/5 in the meetings played this month, meanwhile the Sixers also play good defense allowing only 101.8 points to their rivals in the last 5 in addition, the mark in front of the Over/Under dotted line as locals is 9/19 with 5/16 when they are not favorites and 22/34 in general.
Being a divisional meeting with the additional importance of fighting for the lead, the degree of intensity is much higher and the defensive commitment increases with notoriety.
