Twitter: @GGirlSports.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The 2nd Seed, Boston Celtics (57-25, 25-16 Away<\/strong><\/em>) are facing elimination against the 3rd Seed Philadelphia 76ers (54-28, 29-12 Home)<\/strong><\/em>. Philadelphia leads the series 3-2 and has home court advantage. These two teams will play tonight at 7:30 PM EST, at Wells Fargo Center, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.<\/strong><\/em> The matchup will air on ESPN. <\/strong>If you are looking for the best betting odds and stats, here is information to know:<\/em><\/p>\n Philadelphia 76ers: +340.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Boston Celtics: +390.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Boston:<\/strong> -140.<\/em> PF Danilo Gallinari (OUT): Knee.<\/em><\/p>\n C Joel Embiid (Questionable): Knee.<\/em><\/p>\n Jayson Tatum may be in a slump shooting wise; however, he\u2019s had his fair share of rebounds and assists in this series. Tatum has 11 Assists in the last 2 games and hit 5 assists in four of the five games against the 76ers.<\/strong><\/em> In addition, Jayson Tatum averages 6 Assists at the Wells Fargo Center this Post Season, and 6.3 Assists against Philadelphia this season.<\/strong> <\/em>Although Tatum drives to the basket, and finds himself in trouble at times, he can find the open man with his athleticism.<\/em><\/p>\n Boston is facing elimination, and shot only 31 Percent from the Three, and 39 percent from the field last game. I expect Boston to shoot better this game, and for Tatum to find the open man.<\/em> If Al Horford can space the floor, expect Tatum not only to score, but to drive and kick out to the open player. In addition, he averages 4.9 Assists on the road this season, and Tatum\u2019s rate for 4.5 Assists is 50 % this season.<\/strong><\/em> Give me Tatum OVER 4.5 Assists.<\/em><\/p>\n It was hard for me to pick this given Tatum is struggling,<\/strong> <\/em>especially with his shooting. However, I can\u2019t forget Tatum\u2019s 46 Point Performance against the Milwaukee Bucks in last year\u2019s NBA playoffs<\/a> to force Game 7.<\/em><\/p>\n Tatum hit over 30 points, including Game 1 and Game 5. Although Jayson Tatum struggled in the beginning of the last game, he finished with 27 Shots Attempted, and 36 Points.<\/strong> <\/em>In addition, he shot 3-11 from the Three. If he is cold from downtown this game, I fully expect him to drive to the lane, draw fouls like last game, and adjust his game based off potential struggles.<\/em><\/p>\n Jayson Tatum finished with 24 Points in Game 4, and 27 points in Game 3. He also struggled in those games, shooting a combined 4-17 from the Three.<\/em><\/p>\n Tatum averaged 30.1 Points in the regular season,<\/strong><\/em> and only 21 Points against the 76ers. In addition, he\u2019s averaging 26.9 Points Per Game in the Post Season, and 28.6 points on the road.<\/p>\nNBA Championship Odds:<\/h2>\n
