The Celtics are the best bounce-back team in the NBA, and Jason Logan's same-game parlay for Game 3 leans into that. He likes Boston to win behind the shot-making and playmaking of its two stars.

The Philadelphia 76ers have stolen home court advantage from the Boston Celtics as this Round 1 series swings to the City of Brotherly Love for Game 3.
Despite that, Boston is a sizable road favorite, and my Celtics vs. 76ers predictions expect the road team to return serve and get their groove back from beyond the arc.
The Boston Celtics are one of the best bounce-back teams in the Association, boasting a 20-6 SU record when coming off a loss this season and a long-term 59-13 SU mark following a defeat over the past three years. That includes a 6-1 SU record after a loss in the NBA Playoffs.
A big part of Boston’s troubles in Game 2 was missed 3-pointers. Derrick White has been chilly from beyond the arc to start this series, shooting just 4-for-17 from distance. However, he’s getting plenty of open looks, and projections lean toward three triples from White in Game 3.
Jaylen Brown dished out six assists in Game 1 but managed only four in Game 2, despite generating 13 potential dimes. With the Celtics shaking off their poor shooting performance, Brown’s passes won’t get wasted, and he’s projected for 5+ assists in Game 3.
