Best Player Prop Bets and Predictions for Celtics vs. 76ers
If you’re an NBA fan, you’re not going to want to miss Tuesday night’s game. Not only is this a classic rivalry matchup between the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, but there’s also plenty of drama surrounding it, with Jaylen Brown facing his former team for the first time in a regular season game.
To get you ready, we picked out two of the best player prop bets for Celtics vs. 76ers below using basketball betting insights and trends from the Stats Hub at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook to support our predictions:
Payton Pritchard Over 2.5 Rebounds (-145)
Payton Pritchard isn’t having quite as strong of a season as he did in the previous two years, but he’s still an important piece of this Celtics team. He’s a 6-foot-1 guard who isn’t necessarily known for his rebounding ability, but we’re taking a look at his rebounds prop for Tuesday night’s matchup anyway.
The Stats Hub notes that Pritchard is riding a 27-game streak of recording three or more rebounds when the Celtics are road favorites, as they are Tuesday night against Philadelphia. He averages three rebounds per game over his seven-year career and is averaging 3.3 per contest this season, having grabbed three or more boards in five of his last six games.
Pritchard has also recorded three or more rebounds in four of his last five regular season games against Philadelphia and averaged 3.7 per game in last year’s seven-game playoff series against the Sixers.
- Payton Pritchard Over 2.5 Rebounds (-145)
Jaylen Brown Over 3.5 Assists (-115)
With all the attention surrounding Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown for this matchup, it would almost feel wrong not to include at least one of them in our best player prop picks for Celtics vs. 76ers. We’re focusing on Brown, who will undoubtedly have plenty of emotions heading into his first regular season game against the team that traded him away.
While it may be more fun to predict a scoring outburst for Brown against his former team, we’re taking a look at his assists line instead. The Stats Hub notes that Brown has recorded four or more assists in eight consecutive games with his team as a home underdog, as the Sixers are Tuesday night.
Brown is much better known for his scoring ability than his playmaking, averaging just 2.9 assists per game over his 11-year career. However, he averaged a career-high 4.5 assists with Boston in 2024-25 before setting a new career best with 5.1 per game last season in his final year with the Celtics.
Brown is averaging four assists per game through his first 10 contests with the Sixers and has recorded four or more in eight of them. It certainly helps having players like Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and LeBron James to pass the ball to.
- Jaylen Brown Over 3.5 Assists (-115)

Celtics vs. 76ers Preview for Nov. 10
Jayson Tatum vs. Jaylen Brown. Whether they say there’s no drama or beef between them or not, this is the storyline for Tuesday night’s game at the Xfinity Mobile Arena.
The Celtics selected Brown third overall in the 2016 NBA Draft before taking Tatum third overall in 2017. Brown spent the first 10 years of his career in Boston, earning five All-Star selections, two All-NBA honors, and both the 2023-24 Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals MVP awards during the Celtics’ championship season. He also formed one half of a dangerous duo alongside Tatum.
That run ended when the Celtics shockingly traded Brown to their longtime rivals in Philadelphia this past offseason, shortly after Boston was eliminated by the Sixers in the first round of the playoffs. In return, the Celtics received nine-time All-Star Paul George, a 2028 first-round pick with swap conditions, an unprotected 2031 first-round pick, and second-round picks in 2028 and 2030.
This will also be a reunion for George, who spent the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons with the Sixers. George is enjoying a bit of a resurgence this year, shooting 42.5% from three-point range, averaging the second-most points per game on the team with 20.4, and leading the Celtics with 2.3 steals per game.
The Celtics enter on a three-game winning streak, while the Sixers have won six of their last seven games. Both teams have also been stellar defensively early in the season. The atmosphere at the Xfinity Mobile Arena should be electric for this rivalry matchup Tuesday night in South Philly.
