Preview:
There hasn’t been a lot to like about the Sixers recently, but I can’t help but think this is a slight overreaction on the bookies’ part.
Philly has opened as +4.5 underdogs on the road in Houston hoping to snap their three-game losing streak. Joel Embiid’s left knee injury has been the cause of the Sixers’ recent slide, but all reports suggest Philly’s star center will play on Saturday.
Houston has won seven of its last 10-games to move only half a game behind the third-place Clippers in the West. That said, Houston’s sub-par 8-8 record against the spread at home this year is tough to trust.
Likewise, the Sixers’ 6-10-2 mark on the road also leaves a lot to be desired, making the Total the safest play in this one.
The Total has gone Under in 10 of Houston’s 13 games against non-conference opponents this season. You’ll also be pleased to learn that the Total has gone Under in four of the Rockets’ last six games against Philly, so with Embiid less than 100% as well as Eric Gordon, take this game to be low scoring.
Odds:
Tip: Houston Rockets at $1.55
