Mavericks at 76ers picks and predictionsPrediction
76ers 117, Mavericks 110
PASS.
There is no great value here, especially given the size of the spread. The 76ers (-155) should win at home but are slightly too expensive to consider.
BET 76ERS -3.5 (-102).
The 76ers are 5-0 ATS on the second night of a back-to-back matchup this season. They have also been strong as a favorite, going 3-1 ATS in their last 4 battles when favored.
The Mavericks have been solid over the last week, but they have still struggled on the road, losing 2 straight away games and failing to cover in each performance. Dallas has allowed 127 points per game over its last 2 as well.
Take 76ERS -3.5 (-102).
BET OVER 226.5 (-110).
The Mavericks’ offense has been clicking, which should help the total here. They have scored at least 111 points in 9 straight games and at least 116 in 4 straight.
Philadelphia has scored 115 or more in 3 straight contests. Considering how well both offenses are playing, take OVER 226.5 (-110).
