NBA Betting Trends

Philadelphia

The 76ers are just 6-21-2 against the spread in their last 29 road games and 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog.

Los Angeles

The Clippers are 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 Sunday games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games on 1 day of rest.

Prediction:

The 76ers handed the Clippers a loss in Philly on Feb. 11, 110-103. The 76ers have actually covered the spread in eight straight meetings with the Clippers. I think that streak snaps today, even though it’s a big spread to cover. The 76ers are a mess on the road as is and I don’t think they can overcome the loss of their two studs. Philly lost by 14 at Cleveland and by 21 at Milwaukee is their last two road games as is.

NBA Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers -12.5
