Trail Blazers at 76ers picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 118, Trail Blazers 108
Moneyline
AVOID.
The Blazers are just 14-20 straight up on the road this season while Philadelphia is 24-10 at home. Pass here as neither risk presents great value.
Against the spread
BET 76ERS -8.5 (-115).
Portland hasn’t been great at covering on the road either, posting just a 16-18 ATS record. The 76ers, on the other hand, are 21-12-1 ATS at home this season. They are also 3-2 ATS in their last 5 home games.
The 76ers also rank No. 1 in 3-point field goal percentage while Portland ranks 23rd in 3-point defense. That should be a part of its game Philly should exploit. The Blazers are just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 as well.
Take 76ERS -8.5 (-115).
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 231.5 (-105).
The 76ers have gone Under in 5 of their last 8 games. The Blazers, who have had a total this high or higher in each of their last 6 games, have gone Under in 5 of them.
The 76ers rank 26th in pace with Portland sitting 23rd, so both teams will look to have this played at a slow tempo. That said, ultimately back the UNDER 231.5 (-105).
