Boston Celtics hold an 84% implied probability as heavy favorites in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers, driven primarily by Joel Embiid's absence due to recovery from emergency appendectomy surgery on April 9, leaving the Sixers without their dominant center and reliant on limited options like Adem Bona and Andre Drummond. Tyrese Maxey's 31-point play-in heroics secured the No. 7 seed over Orlando on April 15, but Philadelphia faces a fully healthy Boston squad boasting Jayson Tatum's post-Achilles return form and Jaylen Brown's availability after late-season rest for Achilles tendinitis. Home-court advantage at TD Garden, combined with the teams' 2-2 regular-season split including a Celtics rout without Embiid, underscores trader consensus on Boston's matchup edge in this high-stakes rivalry opener.
