Moneyline
PASS.
Philly should come away with the win, but the 76ers are not worth the risk of betting on as -900 favorites. Bet on the spread and/or Over/Under instead.

LEAN GRIZZLIES +11.5 (-105).

BET OVER 209.5 (-110).
The Over has hit in 4 of Philadelphia’s last 5 games and is 39-36-2 for the Sixers this season.
