Prediction
76ers 119, Clippers 116
Moneyline (ML)
We’ve got a pick ’em Tuesday, with the Clippers and 76ers both laying -110 odds on the moneyline. Both teams are coming off Sunday victories, with the Sixers beating the Chicago Bulls 118-111 for their second win in a row and the Clips dropping the Cleveland Cavaliers 133-92 to bounce back from a stunning 142-115 loss to the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves Saturday.
The Clippers come into Tuesday with a 7-3 record over their last 10 games and a modest 15-11 road record for the season. The 76ers are just 5-5 across their last 10 games, but a league-best 24-2 on home court. Couple Philly’s home advantage with the absence of Beverley for LA and back the 76ERS (-110) for the outright win.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Sixers to win the game returns a profit of $9.09.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
PASS on the spread in favor of the more profitable moneyline odds. The Sixers (+1.5, -121) are being spotted just one point in the event of a loss. The Clippers (-1.5, +100) would be a better ATS play than on the ML, as backing the visitors to win by 2 or more points would return a profit of $10 on a $10 bet. The same wager on the home team fetches a return of just $8.26.
Philly is just 21-29-4 ATS overall but a much better 14-10-2 at home. The Clippers are 29-24-0 ATS overall but just 13-13 on the road. LA is 12-10 ATS when playing on equal rest as its opponent, while Philly is a league-worst 7-14-3 ATS in those situations. With such a small spread, though, ignore those trends and stick with the healthier home side.
Over/Under (O/U)
Take the OVER 225.5 (-106). The Clippers have either scored or allowed at least 128 points in each of their last three games and the Sixers have scored at least 118 points in each of their last two outings. The absence of Beverley should help boost the Sixers’ backcourt scoring. SG Furkan Korkmaz has led his team in each of the last two games.
