NBA Analysis for Play Offs – Wednesday, 22 April 2026

Two exciting matchups headline the slate, with Boston looking to control things early at home, while San Antonio’s fast-paced clash with Portland sets up a high-energy contest. With key mismatches and strong form lines in play, there’s solid value across both games.

Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers

Code: BBT500

Boston looked dominant in Game 1 despite not fully clicking, still taking a big halftime lead while shooting below their best. With improved efficiency expected and a strong home-court edge, the Celtics should again assert control early against a Philly side that allows pace and extra possessions.

Celtics 1st Half -8.0 – $1.90

Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers

With Philadelphia playing at a quicker tempo on the road, this game should create extra scoring opportunities. Payton Pritchard benefits from that pace and increased possessions, giving him every chance to clear his points line with his scoring role off the bench.

Selection:
Payton Pritchard o13.5 Points – $1.90

Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers

Boston’s strong rebounding presence, especially at home, sets this up well for Jaylen Brown to have an impact on the glass. With more missed shots expected from a faster-paced game, his rebounding numbers should hold up.

Selection:
Jaylen Brown o6.5 Rebounds – $1.90

Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers

This matchup suits Boston’s perimeter shooters, and Jaylen Brown is well placed to capitalise. Against a defence that allows high efficiency from beyond the arc, he should get enough looks to knock down multiple threes.

Jaylen Brown o1.5 3PT Made – $1.90

San Antonio Spurs vs Portland Trail Blazers

Victor Wembanyama comes into this matchup in elite scoring form, dominating in recent games and looking extremely hard to contain. Portland simply lack the defensive tools to match his size and skillset, especially away from the rim, which sets up another big scoring night.

Selection:
Victor Wembanyama o28.5 Points – $1.90

San Antonio Spurs vs Portland Trail Blazers

With the Spurs allowing strong efficiency to opposing point guards, this shapes as a great opportunity for Scoot Henderson. Portland’s ability to generate second-chance opportunities should also boost his scoring chances.

Selection:
Scoot Henderson o9.5 Points – $1.90

San Antonio Spurs vs Portland Trail Blazers

While Portland can rebound well as a team, this matchup isn’t ideal for Donovan Clingan. With Wembanyama pulling him away from the basket and reducing his presence inside, his rebounding opportunities should be limited.

Selection:
Donovan Clingan u9.5 Rebounds – $1.90
