The 2023 NBA Playoffs continue to surprise all basketball fans. The Philadelphia 76ers took Game 1 at TD Garden led by a 45-point performance from James Harden. The Boston Celtics shot 58% from the field but committed 16 crucial turnovers which was the deciding factor. They come into Game 2 as 9.5-point favorites according to FanDuel Sportsbook with Joel Embiid‘s status still in doubt. Prop bettors looking for a juicy same-game parlay should keep reading!

Best 76ers-Celtics NBA Same-Game Parlay for Game 2 | May 3
Jaylen Brown Over 24.5 Points
After scoring 14 points in the 1st quarter, Jaylen Brown was on pace to smash his points line. Unfortunately, he only attempted two shots in the 4th quarter, which he made, and finished with 23 points on eight of 10 from the field. That includes knocking down three three-pointers. Brown has to be a major factor if the Celtics want to even this series. Expect Boston to go away from Marcus Smart who took them out of the game with his decision-making at the end of the game and him dealing with a chest injury.
Al Horford Under 8.5 Points
Al Horford was seen on an island against James Harden in Game 1. The 76ers continued to hunt out Horford in the pick and roll and Harden went to work. The Celtics have to answer with Grant Williams or a smaller lineup. He scored 11 points on five of eight from the field, but I expect regression and his 30 minutes played in Game 1 to dwindle. He stayed under this line in five of the six games of the Atlanta Hawks series.
Tobias Harris Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made
Tobias Harris is living up to his massive contract thus far this postseason. He helped carried the weight in Game 1 with two three-pointers and 18 points. His points per game average jumps up to nearly 20 a game without Joel Embiid and he has converted at least two threes in 10 of 16 games without the presumed MVP. When playing at least 35 minutes this season, Harris is over this line in 18 of 25 games.
