The Celtics entered the All-Star break winning eight of their last 10 games, holding their position as the second seed in the Eastern Conference.
The team will get a divisional game with the 76ers, the third matchup of the season, following the All-Star break. Philadelphia will host as Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey are all available.
The teams have split the season series thus far, winning one game apiece. The Celtics are 7.5-point favorites on the road and the game total is set at 225.5 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Below, I have featured my favorite Jayson Tatum prop bets to consider from this contest.

Jayson Tatum under 5.5 assists (-135)
The 76ers have been underwhelming this season largely due to injuries, but the team should have its three stars ready for tonight’s rivalry match.
Any time the Embiid-led 76ers face off with the Tatum-led Celtics, it’s a must-watch game. The last time these teams faced off, the 76ers lost 118-110 without Embiid and George. They won 118-114 in the first game on Christmas Day with all three stars.
One similarity between those games was Tatum’s scoring. He asserted himself as the No. 1 option for the Celtics, scoring 32 and 35 points in those games. Another big scoring performance should be in line tonight.
Because he’ll be focusing on his scoring, his assists should take a dip. The line is set at 5.5, which is right around his 5.6 season average. He’s hit the over in just one of his last four games.
Look for a strong scoring performance from Tatum, which will lead to a low amount of assists from the All-NBA forward.
