Preview:
The 20-9 Sixers host the 18-9 Mavericks here, laying 8 points. Philly are the healthier and more talented team here and I expect them to both win and cover in this one.
They’re a very impressive 14-1 at home this season, that lone loss coming last time out to Miami. As such, I expect them to be very motivated here to put in a complete performance and come out with the win.
Dallas just aren’t the same team without star Forward Luka Doncic, who is very likely to miss this clash. They don’t have an offensive focal point without him, which should prove costly against an elite Philly defence.
On the flipside, Dallas aren’t much of a defensive juggernaut either. They’re particularly weak on the interior, and I love how the duo of Embiid and Horford match up here. Philly also have a strong advantage on the wing, with both Simmons and Harris having strong offensive advantages.
I also like the contrarian angle for Philly, with only 28% of punters backing them here. While the Mavs looked great with Luka, they’re definitely a below average side with him out.
Laying just 8 points, I’d expect a relatively comfortable Sixers win here.
Odds:
Tip: Philadelphia 76ers at $1.21
