Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 19, 2026

Boston's second quarter proved decisive in a defensive grind that fell just short of the market total. The Celtics outscored Philadelphia 59 combined in Q2—the game's highest-scoring frame—to build early separation, then held the 76ers to just 48 points in the fourth to seal a 123-91 victory. The combined 214 finished under the pregame line of 216.5, denying DAGGER's pregame over call by 2.5 points.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led Boston's balanced attack, with Tatum posting 25 points and 11 rebounds alongside 7 assists, while Brown added 26 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. Tyrese Maxey paced Philadelphia with 21 points and 8 assists, though Paul George (17 points, 4 rebounds) and the rest of the 76ers lineup struggled to generate consistent offense. Philadelphia managed only 18 points in the opening quarter and never climbed back into the game; the 76ers' second-half output of 45 combined points underscored the defensive suffocation.

The split told the story: Boston's first half was worth 110 combined, Philadelphia's recent form—113.2 scored per game over its last 10—proved insufficient against a Celtics defense holding opponents to 108.4 nightly. The third quarter saw modest scoring with 56 combined; Boston's 31-point third kept the margin insurmountable. Philadelphia's three prior meetings with Boston this season ranged from 202 to 217 combined—this one landed in that band but closer to the low end, as both offenses sputtered late.
