Kings at 76ers odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 124, Kings 111
Money line
PASS on the money line. The Kings are struggling too much to pick them to win outright. They are the bet to make if you think they can pull off the upset, but they only have six road wins all season. The price for the Sixers just doesn’t make sense to bet them.
Look at the spread and the total.
Against the spread
The Kings have lost their last two games 17 and 53 points respectively. In the two games this season in which they have been double-digit underdogs, they have failed to cover the spread in either. They are 21-29 ATS overall while Philly is 25-23 ATS.
The 76ers have covered the spread in 10 of their last 14 contests. They have covered the spread in three of the last four games in which they were favored by at least 10 points.
Take the 76ERS -10.5 (-108).
Over/Under
The Kings’ last five opponents have scored at least 118 points against them. The Sixers have allowed 107 or more in four of their last six games.
If that trend continues, that is an easy bet. Take OVER 223.5 (-107).
