Spurs at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 115, Spurs 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The 76ers should come out on top, but at these odds, they aren’t worth a play to win outright. The Spurs haven’t performed well as a road underdog, so one should avoid expecting an upset as well.

Against the spread

BET 76ERS (-115).

The Spurs have failed to cover 3 straight games as an underdog and are tied for the third-worst ATS record in the NBA when an away underdog at 2-5. San Antonio’s defense has collapsed in its last 7 games, allowing at least 116 points in 5 of those.

The 76ers are 6-3 ATS in their last 9 games and are 3-2 ATS as a favorite in those. Philadelphia has covered the spread after each of its last 3 defeats. With those trends in mind, back 76ERS (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 217.5 (-115).

The Spurs have gone Over in 5 of their last 7 games, driving by efficient offense. They have tallied at least 113 points in 6 of those games and have topped 120 in 3 of them. San Antonio has given up at least 126 points 3 times in the last 7 games as well.

Philadelphia is 2-1-1 O/U in its last 4 games. It hasn’t had quite as fast-paced games, but it has scored at least 107 points in 4 of its last 5 contests. Play OVER 217.5 (-115).

San Antonio Spurs at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s San Antonio Spurs at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (0-2) welcome the San Antonio Spurs (1-1) to Wells Fargo Center Saturday. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Spurs vs. 76ers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The 76ers come into this game having dropped their first home game of the season 90-88 to the Milwaukee Bucks as 4.5-point favorites Thursday. They also lost their season opener 99-90 at the Boston Celtics Tuesday.

Philadelphia is led by C Joel Embiid and G James Harden, who are averaging 20.5 and 33 points per game, respectively. Third-year G Tyrese Maxey sits 3rd on the team with 18 points per game.

The Spurs have far lower expectations to start the season but are coming off a 137-134 win at the Indiana Pacers Sunday. San Antonio jumped out to a 70-55 lead at the half and covered the spread as a 2-point underdog.

The Spurs have 5 players averaging double figures, but it is former Kentucky Wildcats F Keldon Johnson leading the way with 21.5 points per game.

Spurs at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 115, Spurs 108

Moneyline

PASS.

I actually don’t hate a tiny sprinkle on the Spurs (+650) here as they have a plethora of young, defensive-minded players that should be able to stay in front of Harden and Maxey.

Nonetheless, I don’t see them having the size to handle Embiid well, and on the road, I would far rather take the points.

Against the spread

BET SPURS +12.5 (-105).

San Antonio is a well-coached team and may not have the most talent but should stay competitive in most games. It is deep and has a plethora of options offensively.

The 76ers were just 17-20 ATS as home favorites last season and are already 0-1 ATS at home this season in that spot. The 76ers rely on isolation-heavy basketball with Embiid and Harden which often slows the game and should result in less scoring.

The Spurs were 19-13-1 ATS as road underdogs last season and have a similar roster and coaching staff this season.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 224.5 (-110).

Philadelphia was 15-21-1 O/U as a home favorite last season, and it is truly the pace at which the 76ers ideally play that limits the scoring upside — something the Spurs didn’t face with the young Pacers Friday.

While the season is young, the 76ers are 27th in pace. With Embiid playing a factor yet not being huge in the transition game, Philly should want to limit the speed of play.

Spurs at 76ers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

76ers 113, Spurs 104

Money line (ML)

PASS with a lean on 76ers (-175) because I’d entertain putting Philadelphia’s money line in a parlay, but it’s -130 or greater that prices me out of betting an NBA regular-season favorite.

However, Simmons has enough talent and help around him in Philly to shoulder the burden while Embiid is out with injury, and I’m expecting a statement tonight from the Sixers.

Furthermore, aside from wanting to prove Philly doesn’t need Embiid to win games, there could be additional motivation for Simmons in this game to dominate.

Simmons’ teammate on the Australian national squad—guard Patty Mills—plays for San Antonio, and you know he wants bragging rights over his buddy. In fact, the Sixers are 5-1 against the Spurs when Simmons plays.

Against the spread (ATS)

BET 76ERS -4 (-110) for 1.25 units.

San Antonio wing DeRozan is the team’s leading scorer, assist man with the most win shares and highest usage rate, so with DeRozan out of the lineup, there’s a mystery on how the Spurs score.

Usually, a team can make up for a lack of scoring by increasing their 3-point attempts and aggressiveness of attacking the basket.

But, San Antonio is 22nd in FTA/FG rate as a team, and DeRozan is in the 98th percentile of wings in on-off rating for team free-throw attempt rate, according to CleaningTheGlass.com.

Over/Under (O/U)

GIMME UNDER 223.5 (-110) for a half-unit only because we are a little late to the party, and the market has already bet this total down from the 222.5-point opener.

The case for the under is pretty simple though. The Sixers will be missing Embiid more on offense than defense. Philly backup big Dwight Howard is still an elite defensive big plus San Antonio has two good defensive bigs in its lineup with Rudy Gay and Jakob Poeltl.

Lastly, the Spurs built their whole offensive scheme around the two former All-Stars (DeRozan and Aldridge) who aren’t going to play and like to operate in the mid-range.

For instance, according to CleaningTheGlass.com, San Antonio attempts the 4th-highest rate of mid-range shots, but Philly has the 4th-best defensive midrange field goal percentage.
