76ers Game 2 computer picks

Andre Drummond Over 6.5 points (+100)

Projection: 7.2 points

Joel Embiid is set to miss another game in this series, which will open up more minutes for Andre Drummond. The Boston Celtics will have their hands full with Philly's perimeter scorers, and they'll gladly let Drummond try to beat them.

🔥 Bet Drummond Now at bet365!

Tyrese Maxey Over 3.5 rebounds (+105)

Projection: 3.99 rebounds

Tyrese Maxey puts his 6-foot-2 frame to use, averaging 4.1 rebounds per game. When Drummond is off the floor, that'll open up more board opportunities for Philly's starting PG.

VJ Edgecombe Over 14.5 points (-115)

Projection: 15.79 points

VJ Edgecombe can do some damage from beyond the arc tonight, with the C's allowing the fourth-most 3-point attempts to SGs at home this season. In four games against Boston, VJ shot 41.2% from three. Those long balls will help the rookie eclipse his points total.

Celtics Game 2 computer picks

Jaylen Brown Over 6.5 rebounds (+110)

Projection: 7.8 rebounds

At +110, this prop has the highest +EV for this game according to our prop projections. Jaylen Brown has eclipsed this line in four of his last 10 outings, and with Philly shallow down low, Brown can gobble up the boards.

🔥 Bet Brown Now at bet365!

Payton Pritchard Over 13.5 points (-112)

Projection: 16.0 points

Payton Pritchard is playing like a man possessed, eclipsing this total in eight of his last 10 outings. Pritchard has full control over Boston's bench unit, which should see plenty of time in what's expected to be another blowout.

🔥 Bet Pritchard Now at bet365!

Derrick White Over 4.5 assists (-105)

Projection: 5.38 assists

Playing as the starting point guard of the C's has its perks, especially when you're passing to the likes of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Derrick White can focus more on playmaking with Boston at full strength, just like he did in Game 1 where he racked up six dimes.
