NBA Betting Trends
Philadelphia
The 76ers are 1-5 against the spread in their last six Eastern Conference games and 2-6 ATS in their last eight when playing on no rest.
New York
The Knicks are just 2-6 against the spread in their last eight division games and 8-21 ATS in their last 29 games following a loss.
Prediction:
The 76ers did play last night, but lost at home to the Celtics. That should leave them hungry to come out and play well tonight to go into the All-Star Break with a little positivity. Embiid said he plans to play tonight even though this is part of a back-to-back. With Philly at full strength and the Knicks completely tanking, I expect the 76ers to overwhelm New York with their offense.
NBA Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers -9.5
