Latest Odds : Sixers -1.5 Total 221.5
Boy are both teams off powerful wins on Thursday night the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Warriors on the road in overtime and the Sixers smashed the Utah Jazz by 17 points on the road. Both big emotional wins but probably more so for the Blazers who beat a division rival.
Sixers are playing like the 2nd or 3rd best team in the eastern conference right now they are lead by dynamic forward Ben Simmons who is averaging 15.9 points per game 9.4 rebounds and 8.1 assists this guy does it all then there is Jimmy Butler probably the best all around player he does it on both sides of the ball.

Jimmy Butler is averaging 19.7 Points a game and throw in the best center in the league right now in Joel Embiid and the Sixers are a tough team to defeat. Joel is averaging 26.5 points per game with 13.3 rebounds and he has quite the touch from the free throw line hitting 80%.
Blazers will come at the Sixers with their best player Damian Lillard who is scoring 26.7 points per game with 5.8 assists and 4.7 rebounds. The problem with the Blazers they are no where near as deep as Philadelphia.

Free Betting Pick: Sixers -1.5
I have to say the reason we are catching such a short line with the Sixers is Joel Embiid most likely will not play but rest assured that will just further motivate this Sixers team. Their has been a'lot of talk about Ben Simmons coming up small in big games look for him to step up his game big time in this one I expect him to put up 30 points 15 rebounds and 11 assists as the Sixers easily cover this spread and win 117-106.
