We’re down to a winner-take-all Game 7 between the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics Saturday night.

Boston has watched a 3-1 series lead disintegrate, and are in danger of becoming just the 14th team in NBA history to lose a series when in that position.

The books, however, are still siding with the home team, marking them as hefty favorites in the NBA odds.

To do it, they’ll have to do something they’ve really yet to do all series: contain Tyrese Maxey. Not surprisingly, he’s one of my favorite bets as I run down my favorite 76ers vs Celtics player props.

76ers vs Celtics Prop Pick #1: Jayson Tatum Rebounds

Pick 1: Tatum Over 10.5 Rebounds (-120 at bet365)

Tatum’s rebounding volume is heavily insulated by Boston’s defensive scheme, and the TD Garden environment turns him into a beast on the glass. During the regular season, he established a sturdy baseline of 10.0 rebounds per game, which has only gotten better in the postseason.

In his three home appearances this postseason, Tatum is pulling down a13.7 rebounds per game, recording a double-double in all three home games in Round 1.

The Celtics have secured 79.2% of all available defensive rebounds this postseason. They are actively limiting second-chance points and funneling easy boards directly to their star forward. With Embiid frequently pulled out to the perimeter to defend floor spacers, the paint is left wide open. Lay the juice on this highly backed prop.

PHI 76ers vs BOS Celtics Prop Pick #2: Tyrese Maxey Points

Pick 1: Maxey Over 23.5 Points (-105 at bet365)

While Boston’s perimeter defense is formidable, Maxey has proven he operates on a completely different level when playing on the road. Maxey has brilliantly carried the offensive load, averaging 26.3 points per game and keeping Philadelphia competitive.

Tyrese Maxey Series Stats

Maxey averaged 29.2 points per game across 35 away games during the regular season, heavily crushing this 23.5 passing line as a road underdog. He operates with a massive 29.6% usage rate on the road. With Boston allowing opponents to shoot just 34.7% from deep, Philadelphia must rely on his relentless dribble penetration to generate half-court offense.

Maxey has responded by attempting 82 two-point shots in this series, converting at a highly efficient 46.3% clip. In his three playoff road games, he posted a crisp 17:2 assist-to-turnover ratio. That inherent trust means he will have the rock for nearly every crucial possession. I fully expect him to go comfortably go over this number tonight.
