Trail Blazers at 76ers picks and predictionsPrediction

Trail Blazers 118, 76ers 108

SKIP.

Given the state of both these teams right now, there is no value in backing the Trail Blazers (-350) to come away with a victory on the road. Meanwhile, the 76ers (+280) are extremely shorthanded right now, so it’s tough to trust them in any matchup.

BET TRAIL BLAZERS -8.5 (-105).

Taking Portland to cover a decent-sized spread is a bit risky, but recommending them ATS is more about Philadelphia’s long list of injuries rather than a vote of confidence for the Trail Blazers.

On top of the 76ers’ injury woes, they are 10-12 ATS versus Western Conference opponents and 15-15 ATS when playing as underdogs. Across the last 4 meetings with the 76ers, Portland has gone 3-1 ATS.

BET UNDER 228.5 (-115).

While this is a potential pace-up spot for the 76ers (Portland is seventh in pace, Philadelphia is 18th), where are they going to get scoring from with Maxey, Embiid, and Oubre sidelined? The Under is 5-3 in Philly’s last 8 games, and they’ve scored 104 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4.

The 76ers are 5-6 to the Over when labeled as home underdogs. At the same time, the Trail Blazers are 14-19 to the Over when playing on the road.
