NBA Odds Favor Celtics But Unpredictable Sixers Thrive On Doubt | IXGAMES
The Philadelphia 76ers managed to climb right back to the center of attention in their Eastern Conference second-round series this week and now turn to a decisive Game 7 to determine whether it will be them or the favored Boston Celtics playing on into the conference finals. Weigh in on the series with Bovada’s NBA odds. Although Philly has been surprising fans and critics alike for the entire season now, nobody seems to have really caught on. Now just days away from stamping a ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals, NBA oddsmakers are left to readjust their expectations. Can the Sixers make the most of the Derrick Rose injury that opened the doors to their first-round upset of the top-seeded Chicago Bulls? They haven’t looked back since. Now with momentum on their side they’re one of the most underestimated teams in basketball. Sure the 76ers may never top the NBA futures list – not so long as household-name contenders like Miami, Oklahoma City and even Boston are still eligible to win – but to think that they don’t have the potential to deal damage is dangerous, just ask the Bulls. When the ball goes up for Game 7 this Saturday will it be Philly in the driver’s seat or will their Atlantic rival Boston bring an end to their Cinderella season once and for all?
