Prediction
76ers 106, Jazz 96
Moneyline (ML)
The Jazz (+200) roll into Philadelphia fresh off a 130-110 road loss to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. They’ve lost three of their last four overall and are just 4-7 away from home. They’ve played three back-to-backs this season and won the second game each time while topping 110 points in all three games.
The SIXERS (-250) are 9-0 at home, have won three straight games and beat the Indiana Pacers 119-116 Saturday in their last game. They’ve won seven of their last eight outings. The Jazz took the first meeting of the season between the two by a narrow 106-104 score in Utah on Nov. 6. But Philly gets revenge Monday on its home court.
Against the Spread (ATS)
The SIXERS (-5.5, -115) will keep rolling and win by at least six points against a Jazz team which is 2-4 in its last six road games, with the last two losses by 19 and 20 points. Philly’s last three wins were by an average margin of five points, but two of them were by six on the number. In all, nine of Philadelphia’s wins have been by six or more this season.
The Jazz enter Monday 8-12 ATS overall and 4-7 on the road. The 76ers are 8-11 overall and 4-5 at home. Utah was at home for the second half of each of its three back-to-backs thus far and will find a different result on the road.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the 76ers to win by at least six points returns a profit of $8.70 vs. a return of $4 for the same bet on the moneyline (for the 76ers to win outright).
Over/Under (O/U)
Take the UNDER 206.5 (+105). Both teams have typically fallen shy of the projected point totals. Philly is 9-11 against the O/U and plays to an average of 1.5 points below the projection. Utah is 8-12 against the totals and falls an average of 4.6 points short of the line.
