Mavericks at 76ers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
76ers 121, Mavericks 114
Money line (ML)
76ERS (-190) are the smart play at home as they’ve played really well there recently. Philadelphia has won eight of its last nine home games and is 13-2 at Wells Fargo Center this season.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks are just an average road team, going 7-7 straight up in their 14 road contests. Expect this to be a fairly close game, but for the 76ers to take care of business at home.

Against the spread (ATS)
76ERS -4.5 (-115) appear to be the right call in this game despite a subpar record against the spread of late. They covered in just two of their last seven games, but it’s not like the Mavericks have been much better.
The Mavs are playing better basketball, winning six of their last seven games, so it’s not impossible they could keep this game within 5 points; however, look for the 76ers to utilize their size advantage and win by 5-plus points to cover the spread.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 227.5 is the lean.
Dallas has one of the worst defenses in the NBA and that should lead to Philadelphia scoring into the upper 110s. As long as the Mavericks can keep up (and they should), this Over should hit with ease.
