The Boston Celtics will look to avoid a first-round collapse as they host the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7 tonight.
This series has been filled with standout performances, giving us plenty of player props to target, whether it’s Joel Embiid stuffing the stat sheet or a couple of Boston Celtics role players continuing to produce at a high rate.
Keep reading to see our best 76ers vs. Celtics predictions and NBA picks for Saturday, May 2.
Best 76ers vs Celtics props for Game 7
| Player | Pick |  |
|---|---|---|
 Joel Embiid |
Over 40.5 points + rebounds + assists | -105 |
 Payton Pritchard |
Over 4.5 assists | +125 |
| Neemias Queta |
Over 7.5 rebounds | +105 |
Game 7 Prop #1: Joel Embiid Over 40.5 points + rebounds + assists
Since his return from his surgery for appendicitis, Joel Embiid has been a force in this series, averaging 26.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game for the Philadelphia 76ers.
While beating the Boston Celtics on their home court in a Game 7 might be a tall order, expect Embiid to put up another big performance after topping 40.5 PRA in each of the last three contests.
Game 7 Prop #2: Payton Pritchard Over 4.5 assists
Payton Pritchard remains an excellent distributor for the Celtics. He averaged 5.2 assists per game during the regular season and has dished out five or more assists in all but one game in this series.
Boston is leaning on Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum as its primary scoring threats, and I can’t see them going away from their two biggest stars tonight.
That means putting Pritchard in a supporting role, and while his scoring numbers might increase if he hits a few more shots, he’ll mostly be looking to get the ball to the top options on the court.
Game 7 Prop #3: Neemias Queta Over 7.5 rebounds
Neemias Queta is often overlooked in the Celtics offense, and along with picking up some efficient buckets in the paint, Queta is an excellent rebounder.
While the Portuguese center has only played 19.8 minutes per game in the series, he’s still averaging 8.0 rebounds in the process.
Boston has looked to play Queta more with Embiid back in the lineup. He’s had two straight games with 20+ minutes and double-digit rebounds, and he’ll be counted on to get that kind of run again in Game 7.
