The 2026 NBA Playoffs continue on Tuesday, April 21, with two compelling Game 2 matchups. In the Eastern Conference, the No. 7 Philadelphia 76ers look to bounce back against the heavily favored No. 2 Boston Celtics at TD Garden. Out West, the No. 7 Portland Trail Blazers aim to even their series against Victor Wembanyama and the No. 2 San Antonio Spurs at the Frost Bank Center.
For bettors looking to add extra stakes to Tuesday’s double-header, Fanatics Sportsbook is running its signature welcome offer: “Up to $1,000 in FanCash Matched Bets”—structured as a 100% Bet Match up to $100 per day for 10 days.
Here is a breakdown of Tuesday’s matchups, the betting lines, and how to maximize the Fanatics promotion.
Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics (Game 2)
Time: 7:00 p.m. ET
Location: TD Garden, Boston, MA
Series: Celtics lead 1-0
The Boston Celtics, anchored by Jaylen Brown and a dominant home-court advantage, opened their first-round series with a decisive Game 1 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. Heading into Tuesday, the Celtics hold all the momentum and are massive favorites to take a 2-0 lead before the series shifts to Philadelphia.
For the 76ers, Game 2 is about survival and adjustments. Philadelphia’s offense sputtered against Boston’s elite perimeter defense in Game 1, and the betting markets expect similar struggles in Game 2. Analysts are heavily backing Boston to not only win but to cover a massive spread, predicting another potential blowout at TD Garden.
Game 2 Odds:
-
Spread: Celtics -13.5 (-110) | 76ers +13.5 (-110)
-
Moneyline: Celtics -850 | 76ers +650 (approximate)
-
Over/Under: 216.5 (-110)
Prediction: Boston’s depth and defense are simply too much for Philadelphia right now. Taking the Celtics -13.5 to cover the spread is a popular pick among experts, alongside the Under 216.5, assuming Boston’s defense continues to stifle the Sixers’ half-court sets.
Portland Trail Blazers at San Antonio Spurs (Game 2)
Location: Frost Bank Center, San Antonio, TX
Series: Spurs lead 1-0
In the Western Conference, the San Antonio Spurs have officially arrived as a playoff force. In his postseason debut on Sunday, Victor Wembanyama led the No. 2-seeded Spurs to a Game 1 victory over Deni Avdija and the Portland Trail Blazers.
Portland, who battled through the Play-In tournament to secure the No. 7 seed, must find an answer for Wembanyama’s rim protection and scoring efficiency. The Spurs’ young core looked poised beyond their years in Game 1, and oddsmakers expect them to maintain control of the series in Game 2.
Game 2 Odds:
-
Spread: Spurs -11.5 (-105) | Trail Blazers +11.5 (-115)
-
Moneyline: Spurs -650 | Trail Blazers +475
-
Over/Under: 220.5 (-110)
Prediction: While Wembanyama is expected to continue dominating the stat sheet, an 11.5-point spread in the playoffs is a large number for a young San Antonio team. Taking the Trail Blazers +11.5 could offer value if Portland’s guards can heat up from beyond the arc and keep the game within striking distance late.
