Philadelphia Winning Games But Not Covering Point Spreads For Its Backers

The Sixers are 6-3 SU in their last nine games, but bettors haven’t been able to cash in if they’ve been backing Philly on the point spread. Philadelphia had a tough time putting away the LeBron James-less Lakers on Wednesday, edging the Lakers 126-121 as a 10-point favorite to drop to 3-7-1 ATS in its last 11 outings.

Joel Embiid and James Harden combined to score 54 points against the Lakers, but Philly’s supporting cast also played a huge role for the second straight game. Tobias Harris was a plus-20 in 36 minutes on the court and combined with Tyrese Maxey to score 41 points on 16-of-29 shooting, while Georges Niang and DeAndre Jordan each contributed nine points in 14 minutes.

Maxey, Shake Milton, Furkan Korkmaz, Niang and Harris scored 95 of the Sixers’ points in Monday’s win over Miami, when Embiid and Harden rested on the second night of a back-to-back. Harden played just 36 minutes and Embiid only 34 on Wednesday, so Philly’s two superstars should still be fresh in their team’s fourth game in six days.

Clippers Have Little To Play For Down The Stretch, Looking Ahead To Playoffs

With eight games remaining in the regular season, the Clippers have all but clinched a berth in the play-in tournament. That could lead coach Ty Lue to being conservative with the minutes he’s allocating to veterans like Reggie Jackson, Marcus Morris and Nic Batum down the stretch, even with the Clippers in the middle of an 0-4 SU and ATS swoon.

Paul George practiced Thursday for the first time in three months as he tries to work his way back from elbow surgery, although he remains sidelined and won’t have any on-court impact on tonight’s Sixers vs Clippers predictions.

However, that news could give the Clippers a boost with the playoffs approaching, especially with Norm Powell close to returning from injury and Kawhi Leonard potentially rejoining the team if it survives the play-in tournament.

76ers vs Clippers Pick & Insights

76ers: Keys To Cover

Philadelphia has more scoring threats than the banged-up Clippers, especially if role players like Maxey and Harris continue to put up big numbers. The 76ers also have much more to play for than a Clippers squad that is cruising toward the play-in tournament, entering tonight’s action 1.5 games out of first in the East.

Clippers: Keys To Cover

Los Angeles is playing just its second game in the past seven days while the Sixers are playing their fourth in six, so LA’s fresher legs could be a factor if this game is close in the late going. The Clippers have also been better at home lately than they’ve been on the road, going 8-3 SU and 7-4 ATS in their last 11 at Crypto.com Arena.
