Who will get revenge? Check me out!

Las Vegas - Bouncing on to the NBA hardwood for a look at the 76ers vs. Celtics tonight. The theme of tonight's game is obviously revenge. It's also #1 vs. #2 in the Eastern Conference. Kinda surprised that Boston is an early 1.5 point favorite. My guy, Jeff Sagarin, who has highly respected Power Ratings, has the Sixers as a 1.5 point fav. Looked at both teams starting fives and thinking, that when healthy, Philly has a distinct edge. You're looking at Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown, LeBron James, Joel Embiid and VJ Edgecombe.  On the other bench, it's Jayson Tatum, Paul George, Derrick White, Jordan Walsh and Neemias Queta. Advantage Sixers. Then the revenge angle. As most know, the Celtics traded Brown for George and that issue has been simmering all summer in Jaylen's head. Not gonna get crazy, but make it a light tap on the Liberty Bell if the 76ers are still a small underdog. If they're a small favorite, then slice a little more off the bet.
