I got a strong feeling that Sixers will win today. Why? Well first of all, Celtics come after great trip to the West, winning all three Texan teams and losing in the fourth game to the Hornets, a game they could have easily won as well. They can easily be in a emotional let down, especially since they are already with mind set on the Suns game. Sixers played good games against the Celtics. Lead in half time in two of the three meetings, but just couldn't hold on to the lead. Sixers have shown already that they aren’t a pushover winning on a road against the Pistons and the Suns. They are on fire and with a strong believe in their team and since they will finish 7 or 8 place, the win today can mean a great deal to them mentally if they will meet Boston in the first round of the playoff.

Miller gave solid games against the Celtics and with Cassel playing significant minutes, his task even easier now, since Sam never was too great of a defender.

Still, I will play a bet that I now that the Sixers covered more than once already against the Celtics and that is an HT lead. Celtics can wake up in the second half, but in the fist half, it really supposes to be a one team show and surprisingly, I believe it will be the Sixers.

Is it a great bet? No. But with such high odds, we can definitely take the risk and try our luck with this one.
