76ers are in the Upper Echelon of NBA Bets
The Philadelphia 76ers are bottom-feeders no more. With an ATS record of 27-19, the Sixers currently rank as the third-best bet in the NBA ahead of Monday’s tilt with the Sacramento Kings in the City of Brotherly Love. Sportsbooks opened the Kings as 2-point road favorites with an OVER/UNDER of 206.
Rookie sensation Joel Embiid is the straw that stirs the drink for Philly, but the big man has missed four of the team’s last five games, including Sunday’s 121-108 setback to the Chicago Bulls. Embiid did briefly come back on Friday and dropped 32 points against the Houston Rockets, but he’s experienced soreness in his knee that will likely take two to three weeks to recover.
This game was originally scheduled for November 30 but condensation on the floor at the Wells Fargo Center made for an unsafe environment, which caused it to be postponed. The Kings have won three of their last four and have also covered the spread in three of those contests.
Philadelphia is especially great at cashing tickets at home. In their last seven tilts in Pennsylvania, the 76ers are a perfect 7-0 ATS.
