Joel Embiid’s return could significantly impact the 76ers’ chances in Game 4 against the Celtics. The Boston Celtics currently lead the playoff series 2-1.
As of early Tuesday, Embiid was listed as doubtful due to an injury. However, that status changed when he was upgraded to available for Game 4. This news comes just hours before tip-off.
The Celtics shot an impressive 42.5% from beyond the arc in Game 3. They secured a victory with a score of 108-100. Now, they look to take a commanding 3-1 lead.
Philadelphia hopes to turn the series into a best-of-three sprint. The team believes Embiid’s presence will provide a major boost on Sunday night.
As of midday, FanDuel Sportsbook lists the Celtics as an 8.5-point favorite for Game 4. The over/under for total points scored stands at 213.5.
Historically, the Celtics have not dropped back-to-back home games since mid-February. This trend adds pressure on the 76ers to perform well in Philadelphia.
Experts note that Embiid’s return could change everything for Philadelphia. He is a key player who can influence both scoring and defense.
The match is set for April 26, 2026, at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Fans eagerly await what promises to be a pivotal game in this NBA playoffs series.
