Celtics – 76ers Tip NBA 2025, Regular Season on Thursday, 10/23/25
The 2025/26 NBA season starts this week, and with a seemingly endless number of betting options available, I finally decided on a Celtics 76ers tip that focuses solely on Joel Embiid’s performance.
Yes, the burly center conjured up a total of 14 points in just 18 minutes of playing time in the last preseason game against Minnesota a few days ago, not bad!
Nevertheless, the selection Embiid: Under 25.5 points at Celtics 76ers odds of 1.82 on average on any reasonable sports betting app is much more appealing to me than the opposite bet.
Against the C’s compact and disciplined defense, the NBA superstar could soon pay the price for missing large parts of the preseason.
Celtics vs. 76ers predictions:
I don’t see Embiid scoring 30 points, but thanks to many assists, he could at least manage a double-double – and this is where my positive Bet365 experience comes into play.
The aforementioned bookmaker giant offers you more than acceptable odds of around 1.92 for the selection Embiid: Double Double.
However, I have much more confidence in the AI suggestion of Celtics win with HC -2.5 at odds of around 1.88.
This makes a lot of sense given the irresistible force with which Boston mercilessly swept aside a team like Cleveland at home in the preseason (138:107).
Halftime/Final Score BOS/BOS could ultimately result in a profit multiplier of around 2.3x if successful and, in terms of the potential course of the game, could actually turn out to be the perfect Celtics 76ers tip.
Philadelphia is too dependent on its center and only seems to be successful when he is on the court. Boston, on the other hand, impresses with more flexibility and a significantly deeper bench.
What you need to consider when betting on Celtics vs. 76ers
- Since the end of the 2024 playoffs, the Celtics have won each of their 5 home games.
- The Celtics have won all of the last three head-to-head matchups.
- The Sixers have lost each of their last 3 preseason games in which Joel Embiid did not take the court.
- Including preseason, the 76ers have won only 4 of their last 21 road games.
