Preview

After playing 5 streak games at home, the Philadelphia 76ers will travel to Dallas for a road game against the Mavericks. This is the first time these teams meet this season. The Sixers are 31-20 and third in the Eastern Conference while the Mavericks are 29-23, 5th in the Western Conference.

PHILADELPHIA 76ERS

The Sixers were on a 5 game winning streak before getting upset by the Wizards as 10 pts favorites two days ago. Joel Embiid had 27 points and 14 rebounds for the Sixers but missed a couple of gimmes and had a tying shot late blocked by Kuzma that could have changed the game.

Joel Embiid is playing at a high MVP level and he's leading Philadelphia in scoring and rebounding with averages of 29.1 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, while Tyrese Maxey is the leader in assists with an average of 4.7 assists per game. Philadelphia has five players averaging double-figures in scoring.

The team average 107.8 points per game, 20th in the NBA, and they give up 105.5 points per game (8th).

DALLAS MAVERICKS

The Mavericks are coming from 2 dissapointing losses against Oklahoma City and Orlando but they still have won seven of their past 11 games overall.

In the game vs Thunder, Luka Doncic led the team with 40 points and 10 assists on 16 of 33 shooting, Reggie Bullock added 23 points with eight rebounds while Jalen Brunson chipped in with 20 points on 10 of 18 shooting.

As a team, they're scoring an average of 106.1 points per game and shooting 45.3% overall and 33.4% from 3-point territory.

Porzingis is out for this game which is a big problem for the Mavs when they try to stop Embiid. Also Tim Hardaway is out so 2 of their best scorers out.

BETTING TRENDS

Philadelphia are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games on the road and 8-4-1 ATS as road underdogs.

Dallas are 11-14-1 ATS at home and 16-13-1 ATS as favorite.

Prediction

The Mavericks will again be missing Kristaps Porzingis, Sterling Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. and they just lost against 2 of the worst teams in the league, Thunder and Magic. They have nobody to stop Embiid and the worst news for the Mavs would be if Seth Curry is back to the court for this game, even if he doesn't play I still like the sixers. 

PICK: 76ers +1.5 (-110)
