Analysis for 76ers vs Celtics Player Prop Bets

As part of my analysis for the 76ers vs Celtics player prop bet predictions, I used the Rithmm app to analyze the last 5 total games, the last 5 away games, and the analysis of the teams to get a sense of the trends and how the player has been performing. This approach allows me to dissect the line and makes a more confident decision on placing a bet.

Research and Last 5 Games Hit Rate for 76ers vs Celtics Player Props

This Christmas Day match up between rivals is normally a test of two great teams battling for positioning in the standings. However, this season, the reigning champion Celtics, are still towards the top of the Eastern Conference standings at 22-7 and the Sixers are still trying to find their footing with a lowly 10-17 record. 

The truth of the matter for the 76ers is that they simply have not been healthy. Their high-profile free agent addition, Paul George has only played 17 games and is averaging just 32 min. With the exception of 2019-2020, that is the lowest minutes per game since 2011-2012. His overall numbers tell a similar story, that something just isn’t right. So far this year he is averaging 16.2 points per game (lowest since 2012-2013), 41.4 field goal percentage (lowest since 2014-2015), 14.1 field goals attempted (lowest since 2011-2012 if you take out his 6-game season in 2014-2015), and 3.1 free throws attempted (lowest since 2011-2012). 

With up-and-coming star, Tyrese Maxey taking control more often, the ball is in Paul George’s hands’ less than ever. His 24.8 percent usage rate is down and is the lowest since 2012-2013. All of this to say, that George is clearly not the same guy the 76ers expected to get when they paid him a new four-year max deal. 

On the flipside, the Boston Celtics are having a terrific season coming off of their championship. They are playing top notch defense, holding teams to just 109.6 points per game, good for seventh in the league. They are also holding teams to a 45.7 field goal percentage which is the eighth best in the NBA. With plenty of wings to throw at George, they are one of the best teams to game plan and stop him. 

In focusing on Paul George’s total points over/under, it would be a tough ask for him to exceed the line of 16 against any team, but especially against the Boston Celtics. I reviewed the hit rate for both "Over" and "Under" for George’s last 5 games. This data gives us a good sense on how consistently a player meets or exceeds their prop lines in this 76ers vs Celtics player prop prediction. In the screenshot, it is clear that George has hit that over just two out of the last five games. In those last five games, he averaged 16.6 points, exceeding the 16 total point spread by 0.6 points. He had a high of 33 points in that stretch and a low of 5. 

Last 5 Away Games Hit Rate for 76ers vs Celtics Player Props

Next, I focused on how Paul George has performed in away games being that this game is in Boston and on Christmas Day. In the last five away games, he has been better than he had been while factoring in his home games. Measured against the given total points line, he successfully surpassed 16 points still just two times but this time while averaging 19.2 points per game. That’s a 2.3-point edge on the given spread. In this five game stretched, he had games totaling 29 and 33 points, flashing some glimpses of the prime Paul George. 

76ers vs Celtics AI Player Prop Predictions

Based on all the gathered data and trends, my AI model has generated specific predictions for the Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics player props. The final screenshot shows what the model predicts and recommends for the Paul George total points player prop. The Rithmm app predicts that he will be at 11.6 points for this game. This is a significant edge on the given line of 16 points. 

With my own analysis and the Rithmm model predicting that Irving gets to 11.6 points, I am taking Paul George UNDER on the total points of 16.
