Game 7 of the Celtics vs. 76ers series is set for Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET, and all eyes are on Boston as they try to defend home court and keep their 2026 NBA Playoffs run alive. Philadelphia has seized all the momentum with back-to-back double-digit wins, putting the pressure squarely on the Celtics' superstar, Jaylen Brown.
The former NBA Finals MVP has struggled from the field lately, hitting just 40% of his shots over the last three games. But with the season on the line, expect Boston to lean heavily on their star. According to the latest NBA betting odds at FanDuel Sportsbook, Brown's over/under for total points in Game 7 is set at 24.5. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, predicts Brown will bounce back with 27.9 points—making this one of Saturday's top NBA prop bets.
On the other side, 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe has been a consistent spark for Philadelphia's offense throughout the series, averaging 13.8 points per game. His over/under for Saturday is 10.5 points, and the model sees value in that number as well. Edgecombe's ability to score in transition and knock down open looks could be key for the 76ers as they look to close out the series on the road.
The model has a proven track record, returning well over $10,000 in betting profit for $100 players on its top-rated NBA picks over the past eight-plus seasons. It entered the second week of the playoffs on a hot 25-9 roll (74%) on top-rated spread picks, making its insights a go-to for anyone looking to make smart bets this postseason.
For Celtics fans, Brown's home performance in this series has been electric—he's averaging 28 points per game at TD Garden, including a 36-point explosion in Game 2. With his regular-season average of 28.7 points per game (fourth in the NBA), the model projects a similar output for Game 7. For the 76ers, Edgecombe's steady production makes him a player to watch as Philadelphia looks to finish the job. Whether you're backing the favorites or the underdogs, these prop bets offer a great way to get in on the action.
