76ers at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 118, Blazers 116

Moneyline

LEAN 76ERS (-135).

The 76ers have won 3 straight games against viable playoff-caliber opponents, (LA Clippers, LA Lakers and Utah Jazz). With the Blazers on deck, the streak should continue. Philly is 11-9 on the road while Portland is 11-8 at home.

The 76ers rank 5th in opponents’ 3-point FG percentage (34.3%) with several quality, length defenders. The Blazers average the 11th-most 3-point attempts per game. If Philly can take that away from them, it should come out on top.

The Blazers have lost 6 of their last 8, so confidence isn’t necessarily riding high either. With that in mind, back the safe play which is 76ERS (-135), but given the juice, only play is for a partial unit.

Against the spread

PASS.

Considering the moneyline odds, I would prefer to not worry about the points and just take the worse odds for Philly to win outright.

Over/Under

BET OVER 233.5 (-108).

The Blazers have gone Over in 3 of their last 4 games. They are 11-6-2 O/U at home as well. Philadelphia has gone Over in 8 of its last 9 games and has scored at least 113 in each of its 4 games on this road trip. It has scored at least 118 in 2 of its last 3.

The 76ers have 2 of the best scorers in the NBA and rank 4th in the league in 3-point FG percentage (38%). Both teams can dial it up from deep, and considering the trends, back the OVER 233.5 (-108).
