The Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> were right to win their Play-In game last week, lest they risk a single-elimination worry, but the reward of facing the Boston Celtics<\/a> instead of the stumbling Pistons<\/a> is a difficult one to swallow.<\/p>\n

My 76ers vs. Celtics same-game parlay and NBA picks<\/a> understand Boston will not let up the gas anytime soon, certainly not in Game 2 on Tuesday, April 21.<\/p>\n

Our best 76ers vs Celtics SGP for Game 2<\/p>\n

The Boston Celtics<\/a> led by 18 at halftime in Game 1 despite shooting just 33.3% from beyond the arc in the first half and giving up more field-goal attempts to the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> than they took themselves. Reread that sentence and realize, that is just how much better Boston is than Philadelphia<\/a>. Even playing poorly yielded an 18-point lead.<\/p>\n

The 76ers should shoot better, but so should the Celtics.<\/p>\n

There really may not be a path to competitiveness for Philadelphia in this series, and that shows early and often.<\/p>\n

Leaning on someone like Andre Drummond<\/a> \u2014 in part because Joel Embiid<\/a> is sidelined after an appendectomy \u2014 underscores how much of a mismatch this series should be. Drummond is a quality player, but he cannot defend anyone in a Boston uniform.<\/p>\n

And for that matter, he is not enough of an offensive threat to do anything but drag down Philadelphia\u2019s offense.<\/p>\n
