The Sixers are in a battle just to make the NBA play-in tournament, as they’re a game and a half back of the 10th seeded Bulls in the East. Just when it seemed this season couldn’t be any worse, they’ve dropped seven of eight.

That hasn’t deterred Joel Embiid from racking up his points. Since returning from a knee injury, he’s put up 27 or more points in three of four affairs. He’s also gone over the 26.5 threshold in eight of nine duels and been over that number in five of six against the Celtics.

  
The highly anticipated matchup between the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers on February 20th is sure to be a thrilling game for basketball fans. As two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, both squads will be looking to secure a crucial win as they jockey for playoff positioning.

When it comes to predictions for this game, it’s important to consider the recent performance of both teams. The Celtics have been on a hot streak as of late, winning seven of their last ten games. Led by All-Star Jayson Tatum and rising star Jaylen Brown, Boston has shown that they have the talent and depth to compete with any team in the league.

On the other hand, the 76ers have also been playing well, with Joel Embiid leading the charge as an MVP candidate. Philadelphia has a strong supporting cast around Embiid, including Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris, making them a formidable opponent for any team.

In terms of odds, sportsbooks are likely to have the Celtics as slight favorites in this matchup, given their recent success and overall talent level. However, the 76ers are more than capable of pulling off an upset, especially if Embiid has a dominant performance.

As for props to target in this game, keep an eye on the over/under for total points scored. Both teams have potent offenses and solid defenses, so this could be a high-scoring affair. Additionally, player props for Tatum, Brown, Embiid, and Simmons could be worth considering, as these stars are likely to have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.

Overall, the Celtics vs 76ers game on February 20th is shaping up to be a must-watch showdown between two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. With playoff implications on the line, expect both squads to leave it all on the court in what should be a thrilling and competitive contest.
