Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers recently played the Heat, Wizards, and Hawks. The 76ers have won two games since March 10, and they missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2016-17 season.

The Philadelphia 76ers are averaging 109.7 points on 45.5 percent shooting and allowing 115.8 points on 48.9 percent shooting.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

  • The 76ers have won each of their last 13 day games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Bulls have lost eight of their last nine day games against Atlantic Division opponents.
  • The 76ers have covered the spread in eight of their last nine games against the Bulls following a loss.

Why the Chicago Bulls will win

  • The 76ers have lost each of their last 12 home games against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The Bulls have won each of their last 10 games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a losing record.
  • The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 14 home games against teams that held a losing record.

76ers vs Bulls Prediction

The 76ers will have a chance to win given that the Bulls are going to rest all of their players with a play-in matchup already locked. However, the 76ers have been losing and failing to cover numbers all year, so this doesn’t change a thing. The 76ers have lost nine of their last 10 games and haven’t covered eight of those games. With a cover percentage of 34.5 percent, the 76ers are the worse cover team in the NBA by a decent percentage. Who the Bulls play doesn’t matter in this spot. Blindly fading the 76ers all year has made endless profit. Don’t stop now. Give me the Bulls.

Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Heat, beat the Wizards, and they play the Bulls next. The 76ers look to win two straight games for the first time since January 28-29.

The Philadelphia 76ers are averaging 109.5 points on 45.5 percent shooting and allowing 115.8 points on 49 percent shooting.

  • The Hawks have failed to cover the spread in five of their last six games as road favorites when playing with a rest disadvantage.

The Hawks won’t have Jacob Toppin, Clint Capela, Larry Nance Jr., Jalen Johnson, and Kobe Bufkin.

76ers vs Hawks Prediction

The Hawks are a hit-or-miss team, so I’m not excited to lay double-digit chalk with them on the end of a back-to-back. However, this line has more to do with the 76ers than anything else. The 76ers have their entire roster on the injury report, and they’re 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The 76ers have a 35 percent cover percentage, which is easily the worst in the NBA. You’re sitting on a pile of cash just blindly fading the 76ers. The Hawks also need another win to keep their spot in the eighth seed. I have no choice but to lay the points with the Hawks, as the 76ers don’t put money in the pocket.

Later today, the NBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Miami Heat vs. Philadelphia 76ers game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Philadelphia 76ers vs. Miami Heat matchup.

Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Tyler Herro, Point Guard, Miami Heat $10,400

Veteran point guard Tyler Herro has been the driving force behind the Miami Heat’s success on the basketball court this season. With that said, how has the talented point guard performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s review Herro’s game data from the 2024 NBA regular season to answer that question.

In the 74 games that point guard Tyler Herro has played for the Miami Heat in the 2024 NBA regular season, Herro has averaged 41.6 Draftkings points a game.

Eight days ago, in the Miami Heat’s convincing 120-94 win over the Washington Wizards, Miami point guard Tyler Herro certainly played at a high level. Let me be more specific. Tyler Herro amassed a robust 27 points, five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in the Miami Heat’s win over the Washington Wizards.

Examining the data just presented more closely, in the Miami Heat’s win over the Washington Wizards, point guard Tyler Herro accumulated a rather impressive 45.8 Draftkings points.

It should be noted that the Miami Heat have officially listed Tyler Herro as questionable for tonight’s game. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups.

In my view, Tyler Herro is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Miami Heat point guard Tyler Herro at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA DFS Showdown contest.

Flex Plays

Bam Adebayo, Center, Miami Heat $10,200

In addition to Tyler Herro, center Bam Adebayo has undoubtedly been an essential part of the Miami Heat starting lineup this season.

In 76 games that forward Bam Adebayo has played for the Miami Heat in the 2024 NBA regular season, Adebayo is averaging 18.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 76 games that Bam Adebayo has played for the Miami Heat this season, Adebayo has compiled a 48.4% field goal percentage, a 34.4 three-point percentage, and a 76.7% free throw percentage.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in this NBA regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Jared Butler, Point Guard (Philadelphia 76ers) $6,600: Adem Bona, Center (Philadelphia 76ers) $5,600.

The Miami Heat play host to the Philadelphia 76ers at the Kaseya Center on Monday night. Here’s a Heat vs 76ers Prediction. This article will include a Heat vs 76ers Pick.

Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers are still ice-cold as they’ve lost 26 of their last 29 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest an 11-game losing streak after falling short to the Timberwolves in a 114-109 home defeat on Saturday. Quentin Grimes led the team with 28 points on 10 of 18 shooting, Guerschon Yabusele added 19 points while Lonnie Walker chipped in with 18 points. As a team, the 76ers shot 48 percent from the field and 12 of 35 from the 3-point line as they took the fight to the Timberwolves and played well to lead the game early in the fourth quarter. Before the Timberwolves went on a pivotal 12-0 run to snatch the game away in the end.

Miami Heat Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have been in great shape as they’ve won six of their last eight games overall. They will be eager to avoid a third straight defeat after getting beaten by the Bucks in a 121-115 overtime loss on Saturday. Bam Adebayo led the team with 31 points, 12 rebounds and five assists, Alec Burks added 24 points, Davion Mitchell tallied 20 points with five assists while Duncan Robinson chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Heat shot 42 percent from the field and 15 of 46 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and took an early 10-point lead. However, they couldn’t hold off the Bucks in the fourth quarter and then scored just four points in overtime to fall short at home. Pelle Larsson had a rough game as he shot just three points on one of eight shooting from the field.

Why the Miami Heat will win

  • The 76ers have lost each of their last 20 games against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The Heat have won each of their last six home games against 76ers teams that held a losing record.
  • The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in 14 of their last 15 night games against teams that held a losing record.
  • The Heat have covered the spread in nine of their last 10 games.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

  • The Heat have lost each of their last seven home games against Atlantic Division opponents after losing as favorites.
  • The road team has won each of the Heat’s last five games.
  • The Heat have failed to cover the spread in each of their last seven home games against Atlantic Division opponents after losing as favorites.
  • The 76ers have covered the spread in four of their last five road games against the Heat following a home loss.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of the Heat’s last seven Monday games as home favorites have gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Nine of the 76ers’ last 11 road games have gone OVER the total points line.

Heat vs 76ers Prediction

The 76ers are still missing a host of players including Joel Embiid, Paul George, Kyle Lowry and Tyrese Maxey, while the Heat are keeping eyes on Tyler Herro, Alec Burks and Andrew Wiggins who are all questionable for this one. The Heat were always going to open as heavy favorites despite the injury cloud hanging over them as the 76ers are just so severely depleted against almost every team at this point. The 76ers showed plenty of fight to hang with the Timberwolves in their last outing, but seven of their last 11 losses have been by double digits. These teams last met on Mar. 29, and it was the Heat who cruised to a 118-95 win. This is a game I would rather stay away from, but if I had to choose, I would lean with the Heat to get the blowout win at home.

76ers vs Timberwolves Prediction

The Timberwolves are fighting to get out of the play-in tournament, and they’ve won and covered their last four games. The 76ers are one of those teams that’s waiting for the season to end and aren’t even putting out an NBA roster these days. The 76ers are 0-10 SU and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games. It’s hard to make a case for the 76ers these days. The 76ers are 26-51 ATS in the season, which makes them the worst cover team in the NBA. Thick line and the Timberwolves can play with their food at times, but you can’t put real dollars on the 76ers. Give me the Timberwolves in a road beatdown.

The Milwaukee Bucks travel to the Wells Fargo Center to battle the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. Here’s a 76ers vs Bucks Prediction. This article will include a 76ers vs Bucks Pick.

Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers have been in terrible form as they’ve lost 15 of their last 17 games overall, and they will be hoping to arrest a nine-game losing streak after getting routed by the Knicks in a 105-91 road defeat on Tuesday. Quentin Grimes led the team with 26 points and five assist.s Ricky Council added 15 points while Lonnie Walker chipped in with 11 points, seven rebounds and four assists. As a team, the 76ers shot just 42 percent from the field and six of 31 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace from the start. They were never really a threat after scoring just 16 points in the second quarter to trail by as many as 23 points early. The 76ers will face the Knicks and Raptors following this one.

Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks were really struggling for a while as they were riding a four-game losing streak before they snapped out of it with a 133-123 home win over the depleted Suns on Tuesday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 37 points and 11 assists on 12 of 18 shooting, Ryan Rollins added 23 points with five assists, while Brook Lopez chipped in with 22 points, six rebounds, and six assists. As a team, the Bucks shot a sizzling 68 percent from the field and 17 of 29 from the 3-point line as they dominated this game to lead by as many as 22 points in the third quarter. Before that, they survived a late rally from the Suns, who cut the lead to just four points at one stage. The Bucks will meet the Heat after this game.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

  • The Bucks have lost three of their last four games as favorites against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The home team has won three of the last four games between the Bucks and 76ers.
  • The Bucks have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven road games against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The underdogs have covered the spread in five of the Bucks’ last six games.

Why the Milwaukee Bucks will win

  • The 76ers have lost each of their last 19 games against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The Bucks have won each of their last seven games against the 76ers.
  • The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last eight games.
  • The Bucks have covered the spread in each of their last five games against the 76ers.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of the Bucks’ last six games against Atlantic Division opponents have gone OVER the total points line.
  • Seven of the 76ers’ last eight games as home underdogs following a road loss have gone OVER the total points line.

76ers vs Bucks Prediction

The 76ers are still missing a host of players, including Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, and Kyle Lowry, while the Bucks have ruled out Damian Lillard, and they have AJ Green listed as questionable. The 76ers pulled the plug on this season a long time ago, and it’s hard to make an argument for them as they’ve looked terrible during their current nine-game losing streak. The Bucks really haven’t been much better, as they had lost four in a row before their win over the Suns on Tuesday, but they found a bit of spark on offense in their last game. I think they are still good enough to get a comfortable win against a severely depleted 76ers squad.

Mikal Bridges is the third double-digit scorer, and OG Anunoby is grabbing 4.8 rebounds. The NY Knicks are shooting 36.8 percent from beyond the arc and 80.1 percent from the free-throw line. The NY Knicks are allowing 37.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 42.9 rebounds per game.

Why the New York Knicks will win

  • The 76ers have lost each of their last 18 games against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The Knicks have won each of their last 17 games against Atlantic Division opponents that held a losing record.
  • The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last seven games.
  • The favorites have covered the spread in each of the Knicks’ last five games at Madison Square Garden.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

  • The 76ers have won seven of their last 10 games as road underdogs against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Knicks have lost three of their last four home games on the first leg of a back-to-back against the 76ers.
  • The road team has covered the spread in each of the last six games between the 76ers and Knicks.
  • The Knicks have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.

Total Points Facts

  • Nine of the 76ers’ last 10 road games have gone OVER the total points line.
  • Six of the Knicks’ last seven home games against the 76ers following a home win have gone UNDER the total points line.

Knicks vs 76ers Injury Report

The Knicks will continue to be without Ariel Hukporti, Kevin McCullar Jr., Miles McBride, Jalen Brunson, and Cameron Payne.

The 76ers will be without Jared McCain, Eric Gordon, Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, Andre Drummond, Lonnie Walker IV, Kyle Lowry, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Adem Bona.

Knicks vs 76ers Prediction

I’m not excited to lay double-digit chalk with the Knicks, a team that’s still down key players and has allowed teams to hang around at times. The Knicks are just 5-5 ATS in their last 10 games as a double-digit favorite, and they’ve lost twice under the 2025 calendar as a double-digit favorite. However, the 76ers simply aren’t fielding an NBA roster at this point with all of their injuries, and they’re 26-49 ATS on the season.

The 76ers have the worst cover percentage in the NBA. You’re sitting on a pile of cash if you’ve blindly faded the 76ers all season. It’s a thick line, but it beats the alternative. Give me the Knicks.

The Toronto Raptors and the Philadelphia 76ers collide at the Wells Fargo Center on Sunday night. Here’s a 76ers vs Raptors Prediction. This article will include a 76ers vs Raptors Pick.

Toronto Raptors Betting Preview

The Toronto Raptors have been in decent form lately as they are now aiming for a fourth straight victory after blowing past the lowly Hornets in a 108-97 home win on Friday. Jakob Poeltl led the team with 24 points, 12 rebounds and three assists on 12 of 14 shooting, Immanuel Quickley added 19 points with nine assists while Scottie Barnes chipped in with 18 points, six rebounds and six assists. As a team, the Raptors shot 44 percent from the field and 14 of 44 from the 3-point line as they squandered an early 13-point lead, before they reclaimed control with a 34-point burst in the third quarter to pull away and win comfortably at home.

Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 13 of their last 15 games overall. They will be hoping to put an end to a seven-game losing streak after getting scorched by the Heat in a 118-95 home defeat last night. Jared Butler led the team in scoring with 19 points and 10 assists, Justin Edwards added 17 points, Adem Bona scored 16 points with 10 rebounds and three blocks while Quentin Grimes chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the 76ers shot 50 percent from the field and 13 of 32 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the Heat from the very start. They never had a chance after falling behind by 25 points in the third quarter.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

  • The 76ers have won 20 of their last 21 Sunday games against teams that held a losing record.
  • The Raptors have lost four of their last five games as road favorites against Atlantic Division opponents.
  • The Raptors have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven games as road favorites following a home win.
  • The 76ers have covered the spread in five of their last six home games when playing with a rest disadvantage.

Why the Toronto Raptors will win

  • The 76ers have lost each of their last 17 games against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The Raptors have won 22 of their last 25 night games against 76ers teams that held a losing record.
  • The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 12 home games against teams that held a losing record.
  • The Raptors have covered the spread in each of their last seven road games following a win.

Matchup/League Facts

  • The 76ers rank 30th in the league for rebounds per game this season (39.3).
  • The 76ers rank 30th in the league for opponent field goal percentage this season (49.0%).
  • The Raptors rank 30th in the league for opponent free throws made per game this season (19.7).
  • The Raptors rank 30th in the league for opponent free throw attempts per game this season (25.5).

76ers vs Raptors Prediction

The Raptors have decided to rest Jakob Poeltl and Immanuel Quickley for this contest, while the 76ers are still missing Andre Drummond, Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and Paul George. The Raptors come into this meeting as the team in better form, but it’s hard to back a team that’s constantly resting players. With that being said, it’s even hard to back the 76ers, who have been in terrible form and just got smashed by the Heat in an ugly loss last night. The line is short enough, so I think I will lean towards the Raptors to win and cover in this spot.

The Miami Heat are allowing 36 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 42.8 rebounds per game.

Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Pelicans and Wizards, and they play the Raptors, Knicks, and Bucks next. The 76ers have lost 21 of their last 24 games since February 5.

The Philadelphia 76ers are averaging 110 points on 45.5 percent shooting and allowing 115.7 points on 49 percent shooting. Tyrese Maxey is averaging 26.3 points and 6.1 assists, while Kelly Oubre Jr. is averaging 15.1 points and 6.1 rebounds.

The Philadelphia 76ers are shooting 34.5 percent from beyond the arc and 78.5 percent from the free-throw line. The Philadelphia 76ers are allowing 37.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 39.3 rebounds per game.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

  • The Heat have lost each of their last six games as road favorites against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.
  • The 76ers have won four of their last five games as home underdogs against Southeast Division opponents following a loss.
  • The home team has covered the spread in each of the Heat’s last seven games.
  • The Heat have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games as road favorites against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.

The Miami Heat will be without Nikola Jovic, Duncan Robinson, Andrew Wiggins, and Dru Smith. Kevin Love and Alec Burks are questionable.

76ers vs Heat Prediction

The 76ers continue to get these inflated lines, and I’m not comfortable with them. The Heat have won three straight games and need to keep winning if they’re going to get out of the 10th seed. However, as I’ve said endless times, the Heat are one of those teams that plays to their level of competition. It’s the reason the Heat are nine games below a .500 record.

The Heat have countless bad losses, and they’ve blown endless double-digit leads this season. The Heat are 3-6 ATS in their last nine games when they were favorites of five or more points, and five of those failed covers were outright losses. The 76ers are tanking, bad, and they’re injured beyond belief. I still don’t want to back the Heat in the big favorite role. It’s the 76ers and the points or pass.

76ers vs Wizards Prediction

The Wizards have lost a lot of their betting value lately with five straight losses and five straight failed covers. The Wizards are looking more and more like the team we expected to see from the start. However, seeing the 76ers in the favorite role isn’t appealing anymore.

The 76ers have been terrible this season SU and ATS, and they’re as banged up as any team in the league. Also, the 76ers have a cover percentage of 36.1 percent, which is the worst of any team. The 76ers have failed to cover each of their last 10 games as a favorite. You have to go back to January 4 for the last time the 76ers have covered a number in the favorite role. It’s Wizards or pass for me on Wednesday night.

This Monday night, the NBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Orleans Pelicans. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Philadelphia 76ers vs. New Orleans Pelicans game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Philadelphia 76ers vs. New Orleans Pelicans matchup.

Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Jose Alvarado, Point Guard, New Orleans Pelicans $6,000

Veteran point guard Jose Alvarado has certainly been an essential part of the New Orleans Pelicans starting lineup this season. With that said, how has the talented point guard performed from a statistical standpoint? Let’s review Alvarado’s relevant player data from the 2024 NBA regular season to answer that question.

In the 48 games that point guard Jose Alvarado has played for the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2024 NBA regular season, Alvarado is averaging a robust 9.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.3 blocks a game.

Looking the data just presented more closely, in the 48 games that Jose Alvarado has played for the New Orleans Pelicans this season, Alvarado has compiled a 40.2% field goal percentage, a 37.9% three-point percentage and an 80% free throw percentage.

Last night, in the Detroit Pistons 136-130 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, New Orleans point guard Jose Alvarado played exceptionally well. More specifically, Alvarado amassed 10 points, four rebounds, eight assists and two steals in the Detroit Pistons victory over the Pelicans.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this one game DFS slate.

In summary, I think Jose Alvarado’s low Draftkings price of only $6,000 presents the best fantasy value on this slate. For that specific reason, I am backing Jose Alvarado at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA single game contest.

Flex Plays

Kelly Olynyk, Forward, New Orleans Pelicans $7,200

In addition to point guard Jose Alvarado, forward Kelly Olynyk has been a key contributor for the New Orleans Pelicans this season.

In the 38 games that forward Kelly Olynyk has played in the 2024 NBA regular season, Olynyk has averaged 20.3 Draftkings points a game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in this evening’s NBA game (Draftkings price noted): Justin Edwards, Small Forward (Philadelphia 76ers) $7,000: Jeff Dowtin, Point Guard (Philadelphia 76ers) $6,600: Ricky Council IV, Forward (Philadelphia 76ers) $6,400.

The New Orleans Pelicans play host to the Philadelphia 76ers at the Smoothie King Center on Monday night. Here’s a Pelicans vs 76ers Prediction. This article will include a Pelicans vs 76ers Pick.

Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers have been in terrible shape as they’ve lost 19 of their last 22 games overall and they will be eager to snap a four-game slide after getting thrashed by the Hawks in a 132-119 road defeat last night. Quentin Grimes led the team with 26 points and six assists, Justin Edwards added 22 points with three assists and two blocks while Jeff Dowtin Jr chipped in with 17 points.
As a team, the 76ers shot 44 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line as they leaked 35 points in the first quarter to fall behind by 12 points at halftime. Before they allowed another 41 points in the third quarter to trail by as many as 27 points at one stage. The 76ers will meet the Wizards after this game.

New Orleans Pelicans Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans have been in a slump of their own as they’ve lost nine of their last 11 games. They will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after falling short to the Pistons in a 136-130 road defeat last night. CJ McCollum led the team with 40 points and seven assists, Jordan Hawkins added 25 points off the bench while Jeremiah Robinson-Earl chipped in with 13 points, six rebounds, and eight assists.
As a team, the Pelicans shot a healthy 57 percent from the field and 20 of 40 from the 3-point line, but it still wasn’t enough to take down the Pistons who exploded for 43 points in the fourth quarter to slip away. The Pelicans got outscored at the free throw line by 29-12 and their 18 turnovers were the difference in a close contest. The Pels will face the Warriors, Hornets, Clippers, and Lakers following this one.

Why the New Orleans Pelicans will win

  • The 76ers have lost each of their last eight road games following a road loss.
  • The home team has won each of the 76ers’ last four games.
  • The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 11 games as road underdogs following a road loss.
  • The home team has covered the spread in seven of the Pelicans’ last eight games with both teams on the second leg of a back-to-back.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

  • The Pelicans have lost each of their last six games against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The 76ers have won four of their last five road games against Southwest Division opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Pelicans have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games on the second leg of a back-to-back against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The 76ers have covered the spread in four of their last five road games against Southwest Division opponents that held a losing record.

Matchup/League Facts

  • The Pelicans rank 30th in the league for defensive rating this season (120.0).
  • The Pelicans rank 29th in the league for point differential per game this season (-8.9).
  • The 76ers rank 30th in the league for rebounds per game this season (39.3).
  • The 76ers rank 30th in the league for opponent field goal percentage this season (49.0%).

Pelicans vs 76ers Prediction

The 76ers are still missing a host of players including Kyle Lowry, Joel Embiid, and Paul George, while the Pelicans have ruled out Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy once again. The 76ers have been one of the coldest teams in the league, they are missing all their best players and just got beaten up by the Hawks last night.
The Pelicans haven’t been that much better lately, as they’ve lost nine of their last 11 games, but they were more than competitive in a tough loss to the in-form Pistons last night. This is definitely a game I would rather stay away from, but the Pelicans almost took down the Pistons last night. I think they can get the win in this one if McCollum and Hawkins play like they did last night.

The 76ers will be without Jared McCain, Eric Gordon, Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, Andre Drummond, Lonnie Walker IV, Kyle Lowry, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Adem Bona.

Hawks vs 76ers Prediction

The Hawks are still not profitable on the season and aren’t a team I trust in the big favorite role, and it doesn’t help that they’re on the end of a back-to-back. However, you have to give the Hawks credit, as they’ve won seven of their last 10 games and are pulling away for the top seed in the play-in tournament.

The 76ers have nearly their entire team on the injury report, and their cover percentage of 37.1 percent is the worst in the NBA. Backing the 76ers just isn’t an option, as there’s no betting value with this team. Thick line but for good reason. Give me the Hawks in a double-digit victory.

San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview

The San Antonio Spurs lost to the Lakers, beat the Knicks, and then play the Raptors, Pistons, and Cavs next. The Spurs look for two straight wins for the first time since December 31 – January 3.

The San Antonio Spurs are averaging 114.2 points on 46.6 percent shooting and allowing 116.6 points on 47.4 percent shooting. Devin Vassell is averaging 16.1 points and 3.9 rebounds, while Stephon Castle is averaging 13.8 points and 3.5 assists.

  • The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last nine games as road underdogs following a road loss.
  • The Spurs have covered the spread in each of their last five games against Atlantic Division opponents that held a losing record.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers will win

  • The Spurs have lost each of their last 11 games following a win.
  • The underdogs have won four of the Spurs’ last five games at Frost Bank Center.

The 76ers will be without Jared McCain, Eric Gordon, Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, Andre Drummond, Lonnie Walker IV, Kyle Lowry, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Adem Bona. Guerschon Yabusele is questionable.

Spurs vs 76ers Prediction

I’m not excited to lay this many points with the Spurs, a team that’s been free-falling these last couple of months and hasn’t won back-to-back games in three months. However, the Spurs still have some NBA talent on the court, which gives them the edge here. We can’t say the same for the 76ers, who have nearly their entire roster on the injury report.

The 76ers are also 26-43 ATS on the season, which is the worst cover percentage in the NBA at 37.6 percent. As I’ve said before, the 76ers are fade material, and you’re sitting on a mountain of profit if you just blindly bet against them all season. That doesn’t change just because the opponent is the Spurs. I’ll lay the points.

Thunder vs 76ers Prediction

The 76ers have quietly covered four of their last five games, and they’ll have their chances here with all of the players OKC is sitting. The Thunder know they can win this game with their backups, so many key guys are taking the night off. The fact the Thunder are still laying double-digit chalk is nuts. Still, I have to lay it. The Thunder have the best record in the NBA, and a cover percentage of 67.1 percent is the best as well. The Thunder are 19-10-1 ATS in their last 30 games as a double-digit favorite. I’ll ignore the injury report and go with the trends. No team cashes tickets better than the Thunder. I’ll lay the points.

Houston Rockets Betting Preview

The Houston Rockets beat the Bulls and Mavs, and they play the Heat, Magic, and Nuggets next. The Rockets have won six straight games and are currently the second seed in the West.

The Houston Rockets are averaging 113.2 points on 45 percent shooting and allowing 108.7 points on 45.3 percent shooting. Jalen Green is averaging 21.1 points and 4.5 rebounds, while Alperen Sengun is averaging 19.2 points and 10.3 rebounds.

The 76ers will be without Kyle Lowry, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, Joel Embiid, Eric Gordon, and Jared McCain.

Rockets vs 76ers Prediction

I’m not running to the window to lay double-digit chalk with the Rockets, a young team that’s still learning how to deal with expectations. However, backing the 76ers isn’t an option, especially at the end of a back-to-back. The 76ers are 25-42 ATS on the season, and playing a second game in a row with their injury report is hell. The 76ers are severely undermanned, and spots like this are where teams like that feel it most.

The Rockets are 7-3 SU and ATS in their last 10 games, and they’re currently in the second seed in the West. The Rockets can’t afford to play around in spots like this if they’re going to snag a top seed and make a legit playoff run. I’ll lay the points with the Rockets.

The 76ers will be without Kyle Lowry, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, Joel Embiid, Eric Gordon, and Jared McCain.

Mavericks vs 76ers Prediction

This is a hilarious matchup, as both the 76ers and Mavericks are free-falling and dealing with endless injuries. It’s so bad that it’s reported the Mavs could soon be forced to forfeit games due to a lack of available players. The 76ers have punted on the season weeks ago and have a laundry list of injuries themselves. Knowing all of this, I’m not sure how either team is a big favorite.

Neither team is fielding an NBA roster these days, so seeing this line is a head-scratcher. I wouldn’t get involved in this game personally, but if forced to pick, I’d grab the points with the 76ers on the road. There’s no way the Mavs should be laying this number regardless of opponent.

The Pacers will be without Isaiah Jackson.

76ers vs Pacers Prediction

I’m not running to the window to lay double-digit chalk with the Pacers, but this has more to do with how horrible the 76ers are than anything else. The 76ers have not only underachieved all year, but they’re 23-42 ATS on the season, and it’s not going to get any better with all of their injuries. The Pacers got Haliburton back in the mix and maybe that last-second win over the Bucks can be the shot in the arm they needed. The favorite has covered six of the last nine games between the 76ers and Pacers. There are better options out there on a stacked NBA Friday card, but it’s Pacers or pass. The 76ers remain fade material.

The 76ers have been fade material all year, and it doesn’t stop now. The 76ers are 20 games below a .500 record and are 23-41 ATS on the season. Philly is now riddled with injuries, which doesn’t help matters. The Raptors may not win either, but they’re a profitable 38-26-1 ATS on the season, and they’ve seen 15 of their 22 wins come at home. The Raptors are also 2-0 SU and ATS in the two games against the 76ers this season. You can argue the Raptors should be bigger favorites in this spot. That’s how bad the 76ers are. Give me the Raptors and the reasonable number.

Hawks vs 76ers Prediction

The Hawks are coming off a respectable week with wins in three of their last four games, and they have the rest advantage in this matchup. The 76ers have been a mess all year, they’re not covering numbers, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. The Hawks should be favored, but laying nearly double-digit chalk with a team four games below a .500 record and a losing record at home isn’t the alternative. I’ve bashed the 76ers all season long, and I don’t want to back a team with the worst cover percentage in the NBA. That doesn’t mean we lay massive chalk with a below-average Hawks team. It’s the 76ers or pass for me.
