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).

76ers at Trail Blazers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 115, 76ers 107

Money line

We have a full-strength Trail Blazers team going against the 76ers without Embiid, Simmons or Green.

The 76ers are getting solid play from SG Seth Curry and PF Tobias Harris, but it won’t be enough with the backcourt of the Blazers.

BET TRAIL BLAZERS (-270).

Against the spread

The 76ers are an even 8-8 ATS this season, while the Blazers are 7-9 ATS.

The 76ers have not covered the spread in a loss yet this season.

The Blazers have covered the spread in all but one of their wins.

Essentially, the way the season for both teams has been, if they win, they will cover the spread but will not cover if they lose.

Expecting a Portland win, TAKE THE TRAIL BLAZERS -6.5 (-108).

Over/Under

Four of the last six games for the Blazers have gone Over the projected total. They averaged 115 points in their last two games.

When they played in Philadelphia, the two teams combined for 216 points.

Three of the last five games for the Sixers have seen both teams score 109 or more.

TAKE OVER 216.5 (-110).

Philadelphia 76ers at Portland Trail Blazers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Thursday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Portland Trail Blazers NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Philadelphia 76ers (18-7) stop by the Moda Center for a 10 p.m. ET tip-off against the Portland Trail Blazers (13-10). Below, we analyze the 76ers-Trail Blazers NBA odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Philadelphia has been one of the hotter teams in the league, winning two in a row and five of its last six games (4-1-1 ATS). That lone loss was to these Trail Blazers sub-MVP-candidate Damian Lillard 121-105 last Thursday.

Portland won the first home game, 106-97, over the Orlando Magic following a six-game road trip. Including that road trip, the Trail Blazers are 4-3 overall and 5-2 ATS in their previous seven games.

These teams were tied entering the second half in the first meeting before the 76ers turned the ball over nine times in a third quarter they outscored 40-19. Portland has won two straight over Philadelphia, five of its past six and is 5-1-0 ATS in those games.

Against the spread (ATS)

Both teams were without its All-Star point guards, but Philadelphia was way more out of sync without Ben Simmons than Portland with Lillard.

And even though Simmons is considered one of the best defenders in basketball, the on-off numbers show that his presence is more important to Philadelphia’s offense.

Simmons is in the 94th percentile in team points per possession and the 100th percentile in team effective field goal shooting while on the floor, according to CleaningTheGlass.com.

The 76ers were minus-seven in turnovers in their previous meeting with the Trail Blazers, and everyone aside from MVP contender Joel Embiid struggled offensively. It also didn’t help that 76ers SG Seth Curry exited the game in the first half because he felt ill.

When you combine the motivation Philadelphia should have to beat a Portland team that has its number recently with Simmons and Curry being good to go and the Trail Blazers having no answer for Embiid, it equals a BET on 76ERS -5.5 (-110) for 1 unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

Philadelphia is due for a bounce-back effort offensively after its stinker in the last game against Portland, and the Trail Blazers have scored at least 121 points in their last five games against the 76ers.

Also, Lillard has put Portland on his back since McCollum went out of the lineup back Jan. 18. In his nine games played over that span, Lillard is averaging 32 points on .471/.408/.944 shooting with 7.6 assists per game. While Philadelphia’s defense is formidable, I think Portland brings enough offense to help this game get well into the mid-230s.

TAKE OVER 229.5 (-110) for a half-unit.
