Clippers at 76ers picks and predictionsPrediction
76ers 116, Clippers 108
PASS.
The 76ers (-210) should win at home, but they are too expensive to play here.
BET 76ERS -5.5 (-110).
The 76ers have exceeded expectations as a favorite this season. They are 3-1 ATS when favored and 5-1 ATS at home. Philadelphia’s defense has stepped up lately as well, holding its opponents to 114 or fewer points in 3 straight games.
The Clippers are just 1-3 ATS as an underdog and have been among the worst covering teams in the league. Their defense has been abysmal, allowing 121 or more points in 3 straight games. LA is 0-1 ATS on the second night of a back-to-back as well. Considering those trends, take 76ERS -5.5 (-110).
BET OVER 219.5 (-115).
The Clippers’ defense has been too unorganized to assume it can limit Maxey and company. The Clippers rank 22nd in defensive rating and 27th in defensive rebounding rate over their last 3 games, and the 76ers have been a solid offensive rebounding team this season. Expect those second chances to lead to ample scoring.
The Clippers are 3-0 O/U in their last 3 games and 8-5 O/U on the season. Philadelphia is 7-5 O/U and has allowed at least 110 points in 9 of 12 games. Back OVER 219.5 (-115).
