The Philadelphia 76ers visit the Boston Celtics on Wednesday in a game that can be seen on ABC and ESPN. It is the middle game of a five-game Christmas Day NBA schedule with all five games being shown on ABC and ESPN. The 76ers are coming off a home game against San Antonio on Monday, while the Celtics were in Orlando on Monday. This game really comes down to whether or not Joel Embiid is in the lineup. When Embiid plays, the 76ers are a playoff team that could do serious damage in the NBA playoffs, but when he is out of the lineup, they are a team that is one of the worst in the league. The 76ers did have Tuesday off so the chances are good that Embiid will play, but it will still be important to check the starting lineup before this game tips off on Wednesday. Boston has one of the best records in the league so Philadelphia will need Embiid in the lineup if they are to have any chance to win this game.

76ers at Celtics Same Game Parlay Picks
If Embiid plays and I am expecting him to be in the lineup, the 76ers can be competitive in this game. The Celtics have a gaudy record straight up but they have not been that good against the spread. It is always worth taking the dog in a high-profile televised game so I will take the points with Philadelphia. It is also worth taking the under in a televised matchup as the public likes to bet the over. I’ll go with the 76ers and the under in this same game parlay.
