The Sixers split the first two games of their series in Boston against the Celtics, before returning home to lose two straight.

The good news is they are back to full strength after Joel Embiid returned in Game 4, where Boston earned a 3-1 edge in teh best of seven series.

Embiid scored 26 points and had 10 rebounds, but the Celtics won 128-96.

It was the first game Embiid was able to suit up for this postseason after an emergency appendectomy. But it certainly wasn’t the first time Embiid has missed time.

The Celtics hold a 3-1 edge in the best-of-seven series.

The Celtics are 11.5 point favorites over the Sixers. The over/under is 215 points.

If the Sixers lose by 11.5 points, they're gutless, and this team isn't gutless. The Sixers might not have enough to win and extend the series, but they can't get blown out again. Prediction: Celtics 105, Sixers 100.

Joel Embiid returned to the lineup in Game 4. Game 5 is tomorrow, and Embiid is expected to play. He’ll need to be big, the Sixers are one game away from elimination.

Joel Embiid is signed through the 2028-2029 season. He signed a three year, $192.9 million extension that starts next year.
