With Joel Embiid ruled out for Game 1 due to recovery from an April 9 appendectomy, trader consensus prices the Boston Celtics at 85% implied probability to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers in their Eastern Conference first-round playoff opener at TD Garden. The No. 2 seed Celtics (56-26 regular season) boast a clean injury report, fielding full strength including Jayson Tatum following his Achilles recovery and rested stars Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. No. 7 seed 76ers, who advanced via play-in win over the Magic, lean on Tyrese Maxey (taped pinky) amid frontcourt depletion by Adem Bona and Andre Drummond. Boston's superior depth, home-court edge, and matchup dominance drive the lopsided odds.
