Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 26, 2026

Boston's recent dominance in the season series continued in decisive fashion, as the Celtics rolled past Philadelphia 128–96 for a combined 224 points that crushed the 212.5 market total by 11.5. DAGGER leaned over, and it cashed. The third quarter proved to be the inflection point: after a relatively balanced first half (94 combined), the Celtics erupted for 39 points while holding the 76ers to 36 in the third quarter alone, flipping a competitive game into a rout. That 75-point third quarter was the game's highest-scoring stanza and foreshadowed Boston's defensive intensity in the second half, which produced 130 combined points across two quarters—evidence that the game's pace and efficiency tilted sharply Boston's way once the Celtics seized momentum.

Payton Pritchard led the charge with 32 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds, while Jayson Tatum orchestrated the offense with 30 points, 11 assists, and 7 rebounds. Jaylen Brown added 20 points and 7 rebounds. For Philadelphia, Joel Embiid posted 26 points and 10 rebounds with 6 assists, and Tyrese Maxey chipped in 22 points, but neither could spark the kind of consistency Boston had mustered. Paul George contributed 16 points in a losing effort. The two teams' recent form entering the game—Boston averaging 119.9 points scored versus Philadelphia's 105.4—played out in stark real-time, as the Celtics' depth and shot-making overwhelmed a 76ers roster that managed just 96 points, its lowest in the series this season.
